I love the way some people immediately accuse those who don't agree with them of being prejudiced, spouting empty rhetoric and having their heads 'stuck far up their asses'. It's something I could never manage, could you?
Of course what we have now is not working, making not wearing a seat belt illegal didn't work at first. But gradually people were persuaded that it was sensible to wear one, it delayed the time you became an organ donor.Very few break that law now.
So instead of listening to the 'liberals' arguing for decriminalising with controlled access why can't we have a proper BIG, SUSTAINED publicity campaign showing people what this stuff can and will do to you and try to persuade them that it's not a good idea? Is that not an alternative?
