If I die from a smoking-related disease it's my own silly bloody fault. If Andrew Cohen continues to smoke, it's his stupid fault if it kills him. We all know it's harmful, so if you're worried about the results, get serious and give it up. If only people would take responsibility for their actions instead of searching for someone to blame we'd have a better world. Camilla Croft, Arrawarra.
Youthful angst is always painful.
J. Jaeger, Carlton. There was no community consultation when the RTA decided to install a single stack in the low-lying Wolli Creek Valley in the midst of a residential area. This radical change impacted on a totally different community than that consulted through the EIS process, who were denied the right to comment. The minister's decision was made on political, not engineering, grounds. Affected residents have since fought to find the best solution for everyone.
