“If I might add, we look at the Washington model, which is obviously, I think we would all concur, in many respects a failed model and the message that Washington sends to our young people. And would we not be much better served if we had our parents and teachers and administrators and people plugged into the local levels and all just issue a recent incident of this that I think needs to be talked about later on today? But Washington, D.C.'s idea of how to help our young people is to give them free needles and to tell them to go ahead and shoot up. And that is a mixed signal when Washington gets in the middle of something affecting the young people in America today.”
