May. 28th, 2005 12:21 amI'm pooped!
However I do have to say that I really don't know enough about the Schapelle Corby case to say I think she didn't do it. In all honest truth the media in this country is just as bad if not worse then in the states. I really know nothing more then what the media wants me to know. Does anyone remember the movie "Midnight Express" It was a very powerful movie of it's time. After seeing it I would have been afraid to carry aspirin while travelling over seas, just to risky. It is pretty common knowledge that if you get caught in some countries you are screwed.
I think the best question to ask, a point made by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The mystery remains as to whether she is really guilty or not. If she is, she is amazingly stupid (not implausible). Everybody knows what the penalties are like in Indonesia. Why would you put the stuff in an unlocked zip compartment - unless you figured already on the extremely risky strategy of blaming somebody else for putting it there? If she is innocent, the difficult thing to imagine, however, is the motives of the 'real' smuggler. Why on earth would they put stuff in an unlocked zip compartment of an innocent traveller?.
Yes it just doesn't make sense does it? But guilty or not she will be 47 when all is said and done, a large part of her life wasted. For this reason I feel sorry for her. Don't get me wrong I don't believe in one country interfering with another's laws. That is playing world police and that's what America does.
Anyway I'm going to bed
Ian's team plays St Edmunds tomorrow, that's going to be a very tough game.
Oh and one last thing, would I go to Bali after all of this? You bet I would! It's one of the most beautiful places in the world, would I lock all my bags? Yes I always have and always will.
