Evo Morales defines himself as a PEASANT FARMER.

I have no sympathy for the pervasive cocaine problem that originates almost all of it in South America (it's probably noticable from my comments that I feel this way).

The ongoing attempts to blame the U.S. for the woes of South American druggies for harming their crops does not fly with me, nor with many others.

I think what you've written is amusing, also, since you're ignoring the definitions, AND that the coca plant is an evergreen. Which means it's not -- by a long shot -- involved in producing chocolate.

Go find me the plant species information otherwise and then maybe I'll believe your funny imaginings there. Until then, I find the Dictionary (and an Encylopedia here) far more reliable than "LOL!"

Cocoa is A product from the SEEDS from the cocoa plant. Did you read the rest? Coca is an evergreen -- there are varieties of them -- that produces leaves that are used to produce cocaine (or chew, whatever, because they're chewed by people in S.A. as a stimulant, just as cocaine is used there and everywhere else for a stimulant).

There's a plant called the coca plant and then there is chocolate that is derived from the seeds of the cacao plant. Two different plants.

Your Coca-Cola recipe includes both chocolate and coca derivatives. It is not, however, a plant, if that helps clarify this silly ongoing issue here, this thread.

As to Morales and Chavez, both those wealthy drug dealers promote themselves as peasant farmers and/or peasants. That means, they rely on the sympathies of others, somewhat like you, to extend them sympathy and to blame the U.S. for (whatever they can here) inorder to continue to make and traffic their narcotics to the greedy, reviled Norte.

I think Morales and Chavez would be the first to laugh at you, at me, at the entire website. And, probably all the cocaine that is available today in the U.S. is their product. So, no, I feel not so much as a tad of tears for either of them. In fact, I'd go so far as to allege that both of them are responsible for ~harming~ Americans, especially those who ~harm~ their crops. These are drug dealers, in office today because their cartels put them there.

Get real about this issue. People lose their lives and have already and will continue to and they rely on the "LOL!" silliness of unreality about what they do and what their product/crop is, so they can sell you more.

So do Fidel Castro and our own Jimmy the Peanut Farmer. Then we have Bill the Poor Sax Player and John the War Hero. I claim the title, Emperor of the Universe.

The South American druggies, just like druggies worldwide, take advantage of the market. That market is the result of Americans who are willing to spend an outrageuos sum of money for cocaine. You want to blame farmers in a country that has no cocaine problem for the addiction of Americans. You support convincing farmers with promises of a market to grow other crops, then breaking that promise.

There's a plant called the coca plant and then there is chocolate that is derived from the seeds of the cacao plant. Two different plants.

Get educated if you want to debate this subject. Cocoa is a product, not a plant.
Cocoa/cocaine...Same plant. Different products. I gave you the botannical name, Cacao, so that you could do your own verification without depending on references supplied by me.

Get real about this issue. People lose their lives and have already and will continue to and they rely on the "LOL!" silliness of unreality about what they do and what their product/crop is, so they can sell you more.

I am real about this issue. It's the silliness of your position that is costing people their lives. Your silly attempt to claim the coca farmers grow only a "cocaine" plant to support your lame brained blame game is hilarious.

Americans buying cocaine are responsible for the production of cocaine. The rise of a communist dictator in Bolivia is the result of broken promises made by us. We demanded they grow other crops. We promised them a market for those crops. It's people like you who support drug dealing dictators by breaking promises.

so they can sell you more.

They don't sell me any. They take your drug war money in one hand and supply cocaine with the other. Americans are responsible for the lucrative drug trade, not farmers in Bolivia. Without our demand for cocaine they would have no market to grow for. Get you head out of the sand!
