Robertson Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor, headline by MAP TRAGEDY GOVERNMENTS FAULT If federal politicians really want to prevent another tragedy, they'll put funding into appropriate demand-reduction strategies including drug prevention and enforcement. They will also ensure minimum jail sentences are applied to those who choose to profit from grow-ops. It's time for government to provide leadership in reducing demand for illegal drugs. Kenneth D.
