LOL!
Thats a good thought, but somehow I think nationalization of the cocoa industry would result in el Presidente` getting a lead present to the back of the head.
He knows who butters his bread.
Good God man, President Bush has to do something! First the Chocolate Coast in Africa descends into chaos, and now the Latin American supply of cocoa is threatened! SCrew Iraq! We need to liberate the Chocolate Fields.
(A pox on any liberals whimpering, "No Blood for Cocoa.")
That's the way it was spelled in the original article, "coca." I didn't modify what was published, just copied it here.
I think that's, actually, how it's spelled. Coca is how I've also always read it spelled, coca as in, the coca plant. It is not the same plant that produces chocolate, but is the plant that is used to create cocaine, lest anyone be curious.
I have just no idea as to the intended images...perhaps if you just wrote a description, ha.
The original article spells it "coca" and so it is here, copied as it was published originally.
The coca plant is not the same plant that produces chocolate. The coca plant is used to produce cocaine...the cocoa plant produces chocolate.
Morales is a coca farmer. Which means he produces cocaine. He is undoubtedly associated with a drug cartel or even many; Hugo Chavez in Venezuela is known to be.
yup ,... just can't make this stuff up ,...
.... I wonder if Evo has ever been to Mena Airport[back in the day]
... "we are not men , we are dEVO "
(Fidel is a democratic man)
They need to take him away haha...to the funny farm!
Smugglers, perhaps, but the came up with that abundant coca leaf necklace for Morales before he departed the place. Didn't come from nowhere.
Morales, the coca farmer (and smuggler, certainly...because he sure isn't throwing his harvest away every six months) and Fidel are fond of one another.
Thus, if Cuba's "rather hard on cocaine smugglers," they're just working on Morales' competition.
Typo, previous (^^):
...but THEY CAME UP WITH that abundant coca leaf necklace...(Cuba did).
it's not that simple
it goes way beyond any of that
This guy is making rounds to the who's who in despots...
China
Russia
France
Brazil
Cuba
Well, my mistake then, thanks for clarifying.
However, the article wrote "coca" as "coca" and that's how I reprinted it here. No modifications. I've never read "coca" as being spelled "cocoa," and I believe "cocoa" is among the substances refined, then, from the beans of the "coca" plant.
