Its not widely recognized but one of the reasons that coca is so popular to grow down there is that they can't grow other high profit crops like sugar because of ridiculous import tarriffs in the US which are designed to protect the roughly 5 big sugar producers here (two of which are in FL and are major GOP donors). Sugar is far, far, far more potent as a biofuel than corn and we aren't allowed to use that either because of the lobbying of Cargill and ADM who now control a majority of the corn production here.

Our own economic policies actually deter our ability to get these illiterate hopheads from doing something more useful and NOT being a cash source for FARC and every terrorist/dictator in South America.

Thanks for some intelligent additional perspective, very valuable information.

You are absolutely right. Until we address the points you make, the WOD will continue to be a megabillion dollar boondoggle.
