LIFE OR METH (online poll)
Over the past three weeks The Herald-Gazette received mixed reviews for the three-part series on methamphetamine – the use, abuse, cost, and destruction of the drug that has wreaked deadly addiction and destruction in our community. Some readers were outraged that we would include such vicious images while others were happy we dared to identify a problem exists in Barnesville-Lamar County.

One problem I see is that our community will blog, blog, blog about stupid stuff, however this blog has about our meth problem and your survey has been up for a while now with only 6 post. I am beginning to think no one cares about our drug problem. If it was someone everyone knew that got caught with drugs this blog would have blown up with all of the gossip blogs.
