8. Right.

Exactly right. Thank you for that.

I'd add (although I recognize that YOU know this) that this being true, one has to consider its implications in a closely related area. Say, for example, the curious fact that Afghanistan had pretty much wiped out the large scale production of heroin in the 1990s. Not much of it was finding its way to American streets.

Then President Cheney and his puppet George W. Bush liberated Afghanistan. And, although I live in a rather rural region of upstate NY, I know that any teenager can score heroin -- literally, any day or night, quicker and cheaper than they can purchase a bag of pot.

I'm not saying that Cheney was intentionally advocating for the heroin merchants. Nor could I say that he wasn't. I don't know the answer to that. But I know with absolute certainty that the high school student who lives nearby wasn't importing that poison. And I also know the hell that this poison has inflicted upon his entire family.
