RUNNING ON EMPTY - Mobile Safe sites
Do we have a "mobile" cardiac unit (other than your basic ambulance) operating in BC?
Do we have "mobile" osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer, emphysema, depression, erectile dysfunction units screeching through the streets? Are they going so fast I haven;t noticed them? Do they only run at night?
I ask these questions in light of the fact that the mayor of Victoria, that bastion of Social Enlightenment, wants the federal government to approve 3 new "safe injection" sites, one of which will be "mobile."
In other words, kids, some horribly mistaken volunteers and social workers will be in a Honda minivan, dashing to help a poor, deprived addict of his right to a clean needle and a clean place to get high. What is worse is that these poor fuckers (I mean the social workers and volunteers) will actually believe that they are doing something good and useful, when, in fact, they will be killers and enablers and no different form the pushers.
How did we get so far down this dark, confused path? When did we abandon the idea of HOPE?

Rather than a minivan, perhaps they should use Harley Davidson motorcycles so they'll be on similar vehicles to the people who provide them with what's inside the needles.
How can one not be cynical over such news?

Once again David you have pinpointed the bleeding obvious. Obvious that is to all but our "Leaders"! Keep at it David, you are my first "read" of the day!
Cheers
