It's easy to demonize people that make a living at narcotics. It seems like they are bad people from the start.
But the reality is that drug dealers are business people. They supply to a need that other people want. They model their business to the cost benefit analysis. And they are people like everyone else.
Just look at how far acceptance of LGBT people has changed once the majority stopped listening to the troublesome Church "role models" like disgraced
Ted Haggard.
Ted Haggard preached to his flock about sex and drugs, and then smoked crack and had sex with male prostitutes. This man is the ultimate hypocrite.
Of the two, a drug dealer and Ted Haggard, I would feel safer around a drug dealer. Once people accept that drugs are not going away like alcohol then we can stop demonizing people for business.
