De-Evolving The War On Drugs
Why are so few talking about Evo Morales? The President of Bolivia (and the Coca Growers Association). An outspoken admirer of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, Evo has claimed that he is the United States’ “worst nightmare.” Prior to his canadicy, Morales was the leader of the violent resistance to the US led coca eradication efforts. Now, as president, Morales has halted all such efforts claiming that the coca produced in Bolivia is for “cultural” purposes.
I understand that if we turned our focus toward every major world event we would have no time even to eat or drink but this one will directly impact the US. I wish I could claim that drug abuse only has Darwinian impacts but that is not even close to the case. The reality of the situation here is that unless more is done to counter (meaning diplomaticly and/or politically) Morales, cocaine imports will rise, drug abuse will become cheaper, crime will increase.

You posted a picture of your chair. Unless I’m missing something, that doesn’t count as “offspring”.
