Just when I thought I'd heard it all about people never taking any kind of responsibility for themselves you've got Abbotsford addicts suing the city because of a bylaw banning needle exchanges. They say the bylaw "needlessly puts them at risk" and "puts their lives and safety at risk." Gee, did you ever think that willingly injecting drugs into yourself "needlessly puts you and your safety at risk?" Of course not, it's the bylaw's fault. It's the city's fault, it's the government's fault - anybody's fault but your own, right? Good grief. Tim Brown, Richmond - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
