MINORITY GROUPS TAKE PRECEDENCE
CAN someone please explain something to me and I think a lot of people in
Kalgoorlie?
Why install a needle dispenser for drug users at the Kalgoorlie Regional
Hospital?
I know they are trying to care about addicts being infected with the AIDS
virus, but what about the non-drug-users and children in town?
People continue to leave their used needles around town for anyone to tread
on or pick up.
I strongly believe they should not receive more needles until they return
their used ones.
I may sound heartless, but if they become infected with viruses it is by
their own doing, not like the innocent people who are pricked by needles so
often.
Like I said, this is my opinion but I dare say it is the opinion of a lot of
Kalgoorlie people.
But as usual a minority group takes precedence over the rest of us.
Name and address supplied, Kalgoorlie
