Drugheads should consider The Opium Wars |
The drughead are constantly whining about how the guberment is always
picking on them.....filling up the prisons in this conspiracy called
"The War on Drugs".
"It's not the guberments business what I put into my body
!"....actually I'm somewhat in agreement with you.
However I suggest you at least attempt to understand some of the
motivation behind the Drug War (though I'm not saying that their is
some sneaky ***** going on behind the scenes).
It IS part of the governments responsiblity to protect its people
against threats of various kinds.....this in fact is its MAIN function.
Check out the so called Opium Wars and realize what effect a near
unlimited access to powerful drugs has upon a populace.
Try to imagine a large portion of the Chinese populace addicted to
opium to such an extent that they couldn't even be bother to grow food
for themselves any longer.
Try to imagine how the Chinese rulers must have been freaking out.
Actually America seems under almost IDENTICAL attack today.
All must realize that the easy access to drugs is FAR more danaging to
society than the Muslim threat is.
Our government HAS TO RESPOND.
Anyone at all who tries to pass this horseshit about how harmless
cocaine or pot is......IGNORANCE ! Infantile ignorance !
Nobody who knows anything at all about it would suggest it.
But like I said......I'm not able to, nor is it my responsibility, to
save people from drugs.
See, but after you've ruined your health...that's when *****-for-brains
finally catch on.
And that's why youth is wasted on the young.
"The Opium War, also called the Anglo-Chinese War, was the most
humiliating defeat China ever suffered. In European history, it is
perhaps the most sordid, base, and vicious event in European history,
possibly, just possibly, overshadowed by the excesses of the Third
Reich in the twentieth century.
By the 1830's, the English had become the major drug-trafficking
criminal organization in the world; very few drug cartels of the
twentieth century can even touch the England of the early nineteenth
century in sheer size of criminality. Growing opium in India, the East
India Company shipped tons of opium into Canton which it traded for
Chinese manufactured goods and for tea. This trade had produced, quite
literally, a country filled with drug addicts, as opium parlors
proliferated all throughout China in the early part of the nineteenth
century. This trafficing, it should be stressed, was a criminal
activity after 1836, but the British traders generously bribed Canton
officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on
Chinese society were devestating. In fact, there are few periods in
Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of
pure human misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the
imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 and began to
aggressively close down the opium dens."
