Yes Paul,
You are darn right there!.
New Zealand in the last 10 or so years has become a rather nasty place to live in.
Would you believe that when I was 10 or 11 we used to be able to leave our houses wide open and go away for most of the day and return to the same house that you left.
Well, do that these days and you'd be lucky if there was even a house to come back to!.
I blame a good deal of this anti-social behaviour on drugs and lack of general self-discipline.
