UPDATE: when “the mail” doesn’t actually mean “the mail”…

Kate aka The Last Amazon emails to clarify the wording of her original post:

Since you are posting on my receiving a ‘Safer Crack kit” in the mail
I think I should point out a few facts which should be emphasized.

1)The general public has easy access to my mail box.

2) I have no idea who put the Safer Crack Kit in my mail box on
Friday. It could have been a general mailout carried by the post
office, it could have been street health canvassing, or it could have
been a junkie stashing it. Since I work all day I do not police the
box.

3) I tried to ask my neighbors but no one speaks English anymore and
did not understand what I was talking about.

Regardless, it is time for city hall to end their relationship as
enablers with the junkies.

Hrmph…

An American reader wrote to the Mayor of Toronto, and CC’d Street Health, to criticize the “safe crack” kits being assembled and mailed out (isn’t sending this stuff through the mails illegal?) at taxpayer expense:

Dear Mayor Miller:

I was appalled to read the city of Toronto is using taxpayer dollars to send out “safe” crack kits to communities.

Crack is never safe, and it’s pathetic the tax dollars are going to encourage behavior that destroys health, causes crime and violence, and encourages the breakdown of society.
