Is there not a cash crop we can develop that's more profitable for them than drugs? I know, stupid hangin curveball question. Flamesuit on.

Hey guys, does this sound familiar to any of you?
To: big ern
Sounds like a lot of fun for our young kids that hablan espanol on the rivers and in the jungles.
If I was a little younger and unmarried I'd go in a heartbeat.

Is there not a cash crop we can develop that's more profitable for them than drugs? I know, stupid hangin curveball question. Flamesuit on. Just exactly what crop would you suggest an illiterate farmer plant that will be worth a few $1000 per kilo? The answer to your question is NO!
That being said, the solution to the problem is to make the crop worth a lot less than it is right now. Legalize, decriminalize, whatever name you want to give it drugs. The price will drop, cutting the current crop of sleazebags off at the knees.
Drug enforcement agents can be immediately re-deployed to fight terrorists.
With the drug dealers' enormous profits gone they will promptly become just commonplace ordinary criminals unable to bribe anyone.

It carries oil belonging to Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum and other companies from the country's second-biggest oil field, in Colombia's humid eastern plains, to the Caribbean coast. Why are we still guarding Al Gore's baby?

I thought you were going to free the world from drugs.

Is that noose widening or tightening? I think it's more like a game of "Go" ... we're getting sucked bodily into Empty Spaces along with our billions.
