Dope
Finally hitting the good stuff - the foot is starting to hurt a good bit as the surgical anesthesia has warn off but I simply do not give a shit...
Opiates are wonderful when used properly. The Taliban are in Afghanistan for the Opium money. It beggars the mind to realize that the USA could simply buy up the Afghani harvest at a bit better than market prices and then convert the product to medicinal pain meds and just burn the rest.
This would:
#1) - cost substantially less than the price of maintaining all of our troops over there,
#2) - kill the Taliban's power -- the Afghan indigenous peoples hate the Taliban but financially, they are the only game in town and
#3) - it would kill the worlds primary source of opioid narcotics.
Makes you wonder just how close the drug money is to Washington...
On a side note -- the dope is greatly affecting my spelling for the worse -- six words where I usually have one or none. Thank God for
ieSpell -- awesome free program for Internet Explorer. Fast too -- much faster than the checkers in any of the alt.browsers or any of the web-based blogging software.
