Dyslexia? Never give up!
Man, the captions will easily indicate that I’m “all-over-the-place” in these paragraphs today. (As again I leave crime, road fatalities, the 2019 Budget and Comrade Chairperson Volda to persons, commentators more competent to confront such issues.)
I return, most briefly, with the moral issues embedded in our now rampant cocaine trafficking enterprise. A seemingly pervasive underground but yet visible “industry” that’s not going away. Worldwide, America’s DEA, tries to assist poorer jurisdictions like Guyana, in combating the pernicious trade. Why? Only one of the main reasons: the USA is the baron’s favourite lucrative market for coke and all life-threatening narcotics acquired and used illegally. Especially by societies’ vulnerables. But since the modern world is beset by this “industry” which is actually “legitimized” by prominent players in many societies – as say, food manufacturers are regarded – this war, Frankly Speaking, will be never-ending. I offer the following real-life scenario as a reason – a why.
The huge Atlantic state of Sealand presents a vivid example of a society where former cherished life-line values have been completely compromised by the “positives” the legal drugs trade offers some. And as in many states in South America the under-privileged, the needy, as well as the rich greedy seek and accept the cocaine enterprise’s “rewards”.
