A Russkie Commie invented it, I bet. >> I think Mr. Mading's obsession with drugs is finally leaking out for all the world to see. "The Russkies push drugs on their citizens?" Some references please? Sure, the Soviet gov't sells vodka to its citizens, but then it sells *everything* thru state-run stores - this is "communism", remember? The USSR has a large alcoholism problem, but it has existed since long before 1917. (Obviously, vodka could not have been invented by a commie, as none existed several centuries ago.) There is no evidence that pot, speed, LSD, cocaine or heroin are widely available in the country at all; certainly not to the great bulk of its citizens, who are barely making enough to make ends meet anyway. (There is apparently a dope problem among soldiers in Afghanistan however - they are right in the middle of poppy-land.) "How else does the government stay in power?" A police state takes care of that quite easily. As far as drug pushers and drugs being "the main cause of evil", how do you explain Hitler? Stalin? Pol Pot? Khomeini? OF course, you may hold that they all were indeed part of a world-wide evil drug conspiracy, but if so you reduce yourself to the level of Lyndon LaRouche. >> Are you for real? >> >> Mike Schloss > >I would suggest, Mike, that you call the cocaine hotline, if there is one >in your town. I would suggest Eric, that you seek counseling. Why do you imply that Mike is a cocaine user? ------- Bob Goudreau "You'll pay to know what you *really* think!" - J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
