A bi-monthly magazine covering the environmental protection and drinking water industry since 1988

May 2002 Edition Is washroom hygiene as important as gun control? The recent tragic shooting in Germany makes gun control an increasingly emotive issue. Young and quite innocent people have also been gunned down randomly in Alberta, Québec, Colorado, Scotland and Tasmania in recent years. Such massacres have increasingly become global phenomena. These murderous outbreaks not only occurred in different countries, but on different continents. The Port Arthur slayings in Tasmania took place in a different hemisphere. The isolation of this small Australian island state had remained immune to the spread of much North American and European flora and fauna, yet the virus of senseless killings had somehow crossed the Pacific. The slayings took place amid the ruins of what are, ironically, quite lovely stone buildings in the remains of a former British penal colony.
