ARMY LOST ITS WAY
THE Salvation Army is a fine institution, helping many people overcome
difficulties in their lives.
Why then does it insist on supporting and insisting on a policy on drugs
and drug usage that has been demonstrated as ineffective, unworkable,
expensive and counter-productive? Could it be because there is money in it
to be obtained from other like-minded bigots?
The latest rant about Ansett placing sharps containers on air-craft again
illustrates that the Salvation Army is incapable of rational thought on
issues of legal and/or illicit drugs- - As an insulin-dependent diabetic, I
find the Salvation Army's response to the issue irresponsible and
increasingly irrelevant to the solution to difficult problems.
