  So it's as easy as a couple of paragraphs on this forum is it? Someone should have said.....
  
  Fancy words butter no parsnips Sid, and I no longer butter parsnips. I don't pretend it will be easy, or even that it is do-able, but I know there have to be better ways than the ones that are not currently working. But it will take more than a quango or three and more than a few sound bites to change the way we think about stuff. And if we really want to change thngs and not just bully people because we don't like the choices they have made and their effect on our society we will have to change how we think about them. Don't get me wrong: addicts can be devious dangerous sons of b**ches and I wouldn't turn my back for a nano-second - but that doesn't mean we can't think creatively about actually changing things rather than bleating about how they are.
