'Get out of our lives' they cry.
Good oh, then Hume and ilk here will promoting the ending of all laws and prohibitions I suppose?
Let's have no drug laws at all, no age considerations for boozing or smoking.
No blessed safety belts that hold me back from injuries if I decide to crash my car.
Let's do away with silly licences for electricians and pilots.
Let each and every citizen do whatever they like and no one should interfere?
Do grow up you lot.
But I do resent the 'concern' from churches, like the Catholics over gambling, knowing how much they adore horse racing and Bingo.
And why the concern over 'bandits' when Keno plays silently over the beer taps drawing squillions from the ever drunker boozer?
Or the stock and share markets we all so adore, that are giving us the Euro collapse right now.
Should we stop that gambling too?
There comes a time when the empty rhetoric of pain-in-the-arse -liberals, as featured here in the comments, becomes just too silly.
If WA can survive without these bleeding machines, so should all other states.
Reduce their prizes, and few will bother to play them.
Who would ever have thought that Joh could have been right about anything?
