The government relies on this type of scare mongering to take effect and it works very well. Once a hysterical mother reads this she tells her group of friends then it snow balls from there. It now has enough attention to bring it up on the main stream media which then has a chance to go global. You get enough up roar about it to shut the topic out for half a year or so. Then the wheel comes back around and is still the same old shit again but later down the track. I don't no if any one listens to talkback radio about current issues I wouldn't did for 3 years and absolutely nothing has changed I have a decent enough memory to remember what happened in certain places, what some people said and what was talked about and I think there is a reason it's called TALKBACK because that's all that gets done about the problem. Then a couple months later majority people have forgotten that problem then there talking about the same problem 4 months later. U think about it how many times they bring up increasing the drinking age to 21 will never happen, shark attacks, still no nets or but that takes time, yer and money that won't be there,elderly getting ransacked, no different. Out of controll parties still going, cop chasers, still only 300 fine for failing to stop for police DYOR. Nothing ever changes unless we make a stand.
