Isn’t it time somebody did something about the University of Wisconsin? The place has been in the top ten party schools list for years, and the drinking problem is so bad the police don’t even have the resources to take care of anything other than some of the binge-drinking students who might die from alcohol poisoning if the cops weren’t personally carting them off to detox. And how many of them get into an addiction treatment center so they can really get down to the bottom of the problem? Not many.

Now UW has a drug problem - in 2008, so far, 35% of the students have taken some form of illicit drugs - which includes prescription drugs obtained illegally.

Police budgets have been cut, as have other law enforcement agencies, whose resources are so stretched that cases are just being dismissed because they can’t get to them, and the drug problem is getting even less attention than alcohol.

If I were a parent, I wouldn’t care if I lived next door to UW, which, thank God, I don’t, I wouldn’t let my kid go there.

Parents need to demand that something be done about it before their kids end up with a cocaine, heroin, meth or prescription drug addiction problem.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Start squeaking.
