Quote from FredBloggs:
v77:
the facts are as follows:
americas spraying of colombian land to destroy the coca plant have a devastating affect. they stop coca production for 6 months as it is a hardy plant. however, the spray stop the production of alternative cash crops for 2 years. also, americas fiscal agreements & other foreign policy with columbia are also prohibitive in helping them finance other industries.
so columbia will have little choice in the matter until america acts responsibly. columbian farmers have to eat you know. they have to produce something to sell, and thanks to america, coca is the easiest and most profitable thing to grow in the middle of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere when you have no money.
i dont think saying if colombia stopped growing coca there would be no junkies in america. americans also grow weed in their own country, and smoke it. just like they produce crystal meth and synthetic cocaine and crack.
anyway, what would the republicans do to relax and have a good time if it wasnt for cocaine?
