Keep your nose outta it

To those picketers,

The recent uproar in the death penalty sentence on an Australian in Singapore has risen to new heights of judicial systems. United Nations have joined the picket fence with other factions crying obsenities of insult at another country. What ever happened to "If you cannot do the time, dont do the crime?" When does justice become the infringement on human rights? Please note that law applies to everyone, regardless of race, religion or origin. Just for curiosity sake, why arent you picketing at Indonesia, Kosovo, Russia, the insurgents who strap themselves with explosives and infringe the living rights of others? The plenty inmates waiting in line at American institutions waiting for their execution, electric chair or by lethal injection, should they be pardoned for their crimes? But, but what is the difference in the sentences when both end the lives of the criminals? One for a murder and another for narcotics?

Isnt it a bigger crime not to control the drug traffic and dependency? This law has existed in Singapore since independence. Locals shun narcotics, and worse the addicts. School children spend their academic time on academics, not social responsibilities of drug use. No youngster flourish in the glory of selling crack at the street corner. Or plan a luxurious lifestyle from manufacture of meth using anhydrous ammonia stolen from a farmer. See the difference? See the deterrance? The high conviction rate may be an indication that the law is enforced equally.
In short, it works!

Dear Aussies,
I love you guys with respect especially having lived there too. Just like Las Vegas, lifestyle of the down-under should stay down-under. We know that lifestyle is uniquely yours, where alchohol is cheaper than milk, where your best meats are exported, and gold is still buried under Ballarat. Over the years too many of you have been caught with narcotics that earned either an infinite secured vacation or an expediated trip to the netherworld. Please, please "say No to Drugs." If you really really have to, bypass the countries with low tolerance for trafficking and narcotics. It may cost you your life.
Nuff said.
