Have to admit, although sex, drugs, crime and taxes have always existed, I felt really depressed when listening to the News on Skye this morning. It made me feel I never wanted to go back to UK again :o(
But then I remembered that news programmes aren't known to give anything other than all the bad news and to the best of my knowledge I've never known anyone to be shot to death in any neighbourhood I've ever lived in. (OK the random knifing, perhaps, but not on a daily basis as they would have us believe at present).
Kids play out in the road next to where I live and when visiting my Mother-in-law in Scotland the kids were playing outside her house there too, so it isn't ALL bad.
Unfortunately a lot of the 'killings' over the passed year or so seem to have been in ghetto areas where gangs of youths are out of control.
