I hope I didn't breach confidentiality

but I thought yesterday's message of what life is like for most PNGns is important. It contrasts for example with this other side of life which I heard from Rotarian M last night. He was returning from the airport about 1.30 in the afternoon - daylight - and about the 9 mile he was confronted by a gang of ten with AK47s or soem other such weapons. He decided to put his foot down and drove straight through. He thinks there weren't any shots fired at him - he suspected they might not have had the ammo. Further down the road towards town he saw a police car heading out. He tried to wave it down but it drove on. Returning to town he told his boss and together they went back to the spot where there was another car pulled up and they told them the police had already been and apprehended three of the criminals. They returned to the police station and identified the rascols.
