Meth and Other Drugs - lead people to Steal, Rob and Commit Other Crimes to Feed their Habits - this is why we have to stop being Soft on Crimes and Criminals - Plus for all you Liberals out there - a great deal of the Meth is coming from the Southern Border and arriving into Missouri - So if you think the Southern Border - Doesn't effect you - YOU ARE VERY, VERY, WRONG...
