Hasta

Between working this weekend and packing for my 3 week trip, (and then leaving!) I'll not be posting much.  While I'm there I'll try to get in a couple - but no promises!

I leave y'all with this:

HEH!

-- "A study carried out by the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies (CCJS) describes government strategy on tackling knife crime as "incoherent".

The Home Office said British Crime Survey figures to March 2006 pre-dated the knife amnesty, which began in May. The CCJS claimed knife amnesties have a "negligible" impact on knife crime.

The report - carried out by the charity, which is based at Kings College, London - also found insufficient evidence to show amnesties or tougher sentences reduced the numbers carrying or using knives.

The study comes weeks after more than 100,000 weapons were handed to police in England, Scotland and Wales during a national knife amnesty."

I really appreciate all your support, hope your next three weeks rock.

The world is ending...
That damn knife amnesty
