INJECTING ROOMS: NO WAY TO RIGHT A WRONG

So the International Narcotics Control Board in Vienna has drummed the
Federal Government on our responsibility in regard to a signed agreement.

It's patently obvious that the so-called "safe injecting rooms" are simply
a sop to people who have little regard for themselves - who have difficulty
with the "no" word.

Furthermore, it's painfully obvious that the organisers of such trendy
joints would have to be regarded as part of a complicity - it's against
every law in the world to assist another to commit a wrong; and surely the
people running such places would be aware, either by direct or indirect
means, whence the "s---" was coming. Slowly, but surely, they'd become
involved and aware, too - it'd be impossible not to be part of the "end
product", as it were.

Let's discontinue this charade and get tough with all involved in this
burgeoning madness.
