yeah i got the part about the quantity available to market. the taliban stopped production for a year but since opium had been stockpiled in anticipation of the ban and the taliban permitted heroin refining and exporting all it did was raise the prices (estimated opium/heroin taxes collected by the taliban in 2001 amounted to 40-50 billion dollars--to which the us added 43 million in 'food aid' as a reward f

after he'd taken his first ever shot of tequila, this guy in tennessee told me...sheeit thats just good ol corn squeezings. for some reason, tequila doesnt make me intoxicated or sick. which is a whole different story than a 2-litre bottle of some kind of clear liquor from ecuador i was once given (had to hold my nose for at least the first 8 oz to keep from gagging) or slivowitz (same story)

afghanistan has been one of the world's major opium suppliers since the early 70s. the taliban-imposed ban on poppy growing in 2001 didnt affect the amount of afghani-source heroin reaching western europe, africa and southeastern asia (the major markets for afghanistans opium/heroin representing roughly 9 million customers or about 2/3 of the world market) until late in 2001. since the new crop is harvested early in the year (march/april) it didnt la

Primitive man never buried his dead. there are cave sites (i remember reading about one in spain about a year ago) where theyve discovered what appears to be areas in which the dead were placed along with symbolic objects including new (unused) stone tools. the spanish site had what was described as pristine rose quartz handaxe, for example, and was believed to be the oldest known evidence of humans according special attention or car

he used fake medals when everybody else used real ones). He might be a hero, but he still has skeletons in his closet, and those skeletons are significant. now im even more confused. he was awarded real medals in recognition of his actions in combat. im guessing youre referring to kerry participating in a symbolic protest against the vietnam conflict during which he discarded the ribbons from his real medals. if so, your original conc

I seem to recall Michael Dukakis riding around in a tank in full gear during his campaign in 1988 an regrettable (altho much more forgettable) decision. i truly cant recall WHY he was tanking around--he was scared of prematurely paroled felons?--but i know it wasnt to pronounce victory at halftime..

smartaz...thanks for the link (i hadnt seen that previously) and for your insightful compliment i wasnt as clear as i should have been. if kerry were as bla bla bla, bush would have qualified for some kind of record for the most successful carrier landings as well as most regretted publicity stunts involving a war

But when they start murdering us wholesale, it becomes our business the problem is and has been that business is being neglected in favor of the campaign in iraq. the clock has been ticking for nearly 3 years during which bin laden and his primary strategist have remained at large. in a culture in which the us withdrawl from falloujah is popularly attributed to the appearance of three angelic knights dressed in white, riding white hor

it's okay to accuse Bush of going AWOL in any other context but election year party politics--say at a neighborhood barbeque or in an office environment--i cant imagine anyone being anything but impressed by a service record like kerry's. i've only known one person (of no fewer than 100 vietnam vets with whom ive socialized enough to discuss their military experiences) who could match it.. i've also known about 25 vietnam-era vets--
