I sometimes think about this, whilst thinking of other random things in my very “interesting” mind. Take the following for an example.
I live in a fairly quiet area. A place where you would expect people to get along and be nice to each other. A place where drugs are not accepted in the community. Last night, after being picked up from work and leaving down the “fast exit” we came to a halt just before the street as about six police officers and a “sniffer” dog ran out in front of us after this guy. They managed to stop him pretty much right in front of us and we got a “good” look at what was going on.
The dog had picked up a scent in the guys bag. The guy, probably in his late twenties/early thirties was dressed fairly poorly, and contained a patch over his left eye. He was calmly assisted to the side of the walkway and his bag was searched.
I think its pretty terrible that this is what the world is coming to, because my father also said he had seen the same police officers and dogs about 3 hours ago just down at the station with another group of people “pinned” up against the wall.

Anyway, if police officers arresting drug dealers is what this world is coming to, I’m all for it. :p
Seriously, I think that the awareness to the dangers drugs and even nicotine hold is much bigger today than in the past. I’m pretty optimistic about this, mainly because I don’t know anyone who’s into this kinda stuff, thankfully.
