BETTER USES FOR THE TAXPAYERS' MONEY
WHY SHOULD taxpayers support heroin-shooting galleries? It is not a
disease, but, a self-induced habit and the only cure is to introduce
stronger prison terms for users and pushers.
If Michael Moore wants the Government to support a shooting gallery for
heroin addicts, then we should have supervised free drinking bars for
alcoholics, free cigarettes for nicotine users, etc.
There are thousands of Australians (singles and families) who would welcome
funds to cover the high costs of treatment of their incurable diseases such
as leukemia, MS, diabetes, et cetera.
