Lost morals, present murders – in drug land

Two presidents, agri and food

It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to be so absolutely negative about my homeland today. I guess, however, that like the headlines and captions in our newspaper dailies, I’m merely reflecting the sad realities of our existence these days.

So just what am I going on about? It is the stark debilitating fact that for a population way under a million souls, daily varieties of gruesome crime are woefully disproportionate to the crime rates of nearby nations each boasting millions of citizens. Respect to the local police analyses but they don’t dwell in all our villages, ghettoes and interior communities. Additionally to this lament for today, I’m excluding the relative mayhem on our roads taking as many lives as assaults and murders – through traffic accidents.
