| "Mr Blunkett has warned that officers who jeer him will lose credibility and set a bad example to young thugs and tearaways." For goodness' sake, somebody get this guy a pacifier! If the guy is so absolutely certain that the majority of those in attendance--police officers at that--are going to disagree with him, perhaps he should keep a lid on his ridiculous notions that somehow using the same policies that have been ineffective for decades will now suddenly become effective. Hey Blunkett--if you believe that, I have a bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona to sell you! Dan B [ Post Comment ] |

My interest has primarily been with relegalizing marijuana because it is such a clear cut thing. I only reluctantly mention without the conviction I have for marijuana that cocaine and whatever should be regulated. People in Columbia are being killed because of the black market and the gangs that bang fight for turf because turf means money and the things that come with it. We need to do something different. If our vision of our future looks like the past, something needs to change. [ Post Comment ] |
