Lynn:  As I have previously stated, I feel you're a very nice person......so nice that you sometimes seem extraordinarily innocent and naive.  You're ready to defend the "underdog" at every turn.  That's great, but, upon inspection, sometimes that "underdog" is actually the one "in the wrong."  I'm sure some of the "travelers" who frequent downtown Eugene are great people whose actions harm no  one.  I'm just as sure some of them are not such "great" people and their actions do harm others.  

Police have the unenviable task of dealing with the latter on a regular basis.  You're a bright, caring person.  What would you have the police do when they observe someone (yes, allegedly) selling drugs on the street?  This is a serious question and I'd be interested in your answer.  thanks, Gary
