I'LL BE WAITING TILL HELL FREEZES OVER
SO, the Pope has decided that the courageous Aussie nuns, determined to
help try to stem the tide of lost heroin-soaked lives, should bog off and
bury their heads in the sand when the subject comes up.
Instead of even listening to what those good-hearted Sisters of Charity
have to say about their selfless planned involvement in the NSW safe
injecting room experiment, the Vatican simply ruled: No.
Where's the spirit of charity, humanity, understanding and forgiveness in
that? Er ... wot?
No, I for one can't wait for Pope John Paul II's alternative plan to tackle
the drugs scourge, a terrible affliction which senselessly cuts down so
many young lives in their prime.
Something tells me, however, I'll be waiting till hell freezes over.
