Needle Disgrace

I have borrowed these pictures from Tammy Roberts blog on the News Talk Radio 650 website. If you haven't read Tammy's report on what is happening with needle and condom exchanges in our cities, well you should.
Tammy's last paragraph pretty much sums it all up. There is a vast array of people who are making money off of this ill sighted needle exchange program and the whole drug culture. From the social workers to the heads of various government funded organizations to the people who are paid to go around and empty these needle drop boxes, its a business for them and why would they want to see it end. Numbers are fudged as to the number of prostitutes on the street, the number of drug users etc.
Why ? Because the darker the picture they paint, the more they increase the number of needy and desperate people, the more government funding they get and the more for their salaries. Am I saying - Are there no desperate and needy people out there?
Of course there are ! But are the numbers as bad as these organizations say. Of that I am not sure.
One thing I do know. Despite their claims, despite their programs, despite their needle and condom exchanges which these educated people said would work, HIV has increased by 40%. Unfortunately their salaries will increase as well and likely
more needles, more condoms and more social workers will be added. Isn't that how the whole system works or in this case
doesn't work
