LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
ABC’s Four Corners program the other night had a bunch of ecstasy users whinging about the government not doing enough to stop them dying at music festivals, raves etc.
They also complained about the police doing too much; too many sniffer dogs and too large a presence at the event.
Whatever happened to the concept of personal responsibility?
Live free and die means that one is free to choose one’s own poison in the full knowledge of the risks involved.
These thrill pill poppers at raves want the taxpayers to take responsibility for their own very faulty choices.
Choices come with consequences.
If you choose to play Russian roulette with your life, you just might find that there’s a live round under the hammer.
Perhaps the war on drugs should be a war on stupidity instead.
Stanley R. Burgess,
Healesville.
