Yes, most definately, but there's no profit in that for those that make the decisions, so little if any money goes that way. You'd think any community would want to invest in their future, by any means. Education, and steering their children away from what has become a serious issue in many communities around the world, including mine, has to be a priority.
I've seen all too many lives wasted, and too many dead, all due to drugs, although there have been a few that made it out of "the life" as well. Some have done exceptionally well for themselves, and those in their lives.
Prevention is the best way forward, perhaps the only sure way, but I'm not opposed to stamping out the current element by any means possible. The thing is, nobody is even remotely committed to it, in any way, shape, or form.
I appreciate what you're saying, but in some instances, it just doesn't work. I somehow doubt the Universe expected heroin, meth, cocaine, etc., and the violence associated with it to be on the planet.
Violence begets violence, and for some, violence is the only language they understand, and so be it.
I don't see a problem with ridding the entire planet of the people involved in this trade, by any means possible, without prejudice.
Bloody 'ell, lots of stuff I don't have, no balsamic, no bay leaves, but I did have 4 other kinds of vinegar.
Well, I fine grated a large carrot, and added two teaspoons of brown sugar to it. I think it was the acidity of the tomato that was throwing it off, so that should help...I'll know in an hour or so.
Oh, and poured myself a Moscow Mule...
2 ounces vodka 1 ounce lime juice Ginger beer Lime wedge for garnish
Not so much a lesson, I've made 100's of litres of sauce before, just can't seem to find the missing ingredient tonight. Besides, every young man should learn how to cook, I've never met a woman that didn't appreciate it.
Bay leaves I might have, but no red wine, I drank it all.
Maybe a splash of vodka? Hmm, no, better drink that too.
Yeah, they can be quite spectacular, and I guess I have taken them for granted, having seen them so many times in Alberta. I've even seen them in the summer from my back yard, but they're the best in the winter, and the further north you go, the brighter they are.
I'm ok, thanks, just cooking up a storm in the kitchen, have several things bubbling away on the stove, and soon something in the oven. I know, odd time of day (night) to be doing this, but I got inspired, plus I was hungry.
RE: believes in aliens
If it were only that easy to explain away...I don't think it is though.
