I agree, Stevo, but punish harshly the maggots who are making the money out of this. The dealers, the suppliers, the people in high places who MUST be involved to allow the amount of illicit drugs into the country. The Judges who repeatedly allow offenders onto the streets time after time,must listen to the people, otherwise the people will lose confidence in the rule of law, and when that happens, people take the law into their own hands.Do we want that? I am a big enough cynic of Government now to think that Judges have been pressured to give lenient sentences because it costs too much to keep people in prison for extended periods, I have little confidence in Government to govern for the ordinary citizen, Big money talks,and the rest can please themselves.You must forgive my rant, but I love my Country, and I'm sick of seeing it slowly go to pieces.There are no Politicians here in Qld worth voting for, and that comes from a Labour supporter whose forebears took part in the shearers strike in the 1800's, and have been involved in the union movement for decades [ and one was at the Eureka Stockade, but unfortunately he went to the pub with the others at the critical moment, apparently, ]Where was I? Oh yeah, ranting.Do you know what works for us here, most of the time? We look out for each other, let the areseholes know if they touch one of us, or steal from us, they will be delivered to the Sandgate Police station with broken arms.We watch , any strangers loitering in the street will be quizzed, and even photographed. Too extreme? haven't had to break an arm yet, but, by God, I will, and they know I will, that is all it takes. These people are cowards, they go somewhere else.Stop complaining, and take control of your communities, interact with your neighbours, don't let the mongrels win. [ Rant over], go the mighty Qld reds , Bob
