1. I have never used cocaine, but

I once asked someone who did it what it felt like. He said it makes you feel like you are God. Well, maybe that's why Bush is "losing" the war on that drug. All evidence seems to point to the fact that he is not God, but for some reason he still believes he is. Maybe all of it went up his snout. Where's my rolled up newspaper? Bush needs a good smack on the snout to wake him up.

2. The cocaine trade is huge and getting bigger

Entire areas of cities and other communities are open police state gulags. The police can break in almost anywhere and find either cocaine or methamphetamine businesses. In these economically depressed areas, they can stop almost any car, late at night, with no license, no registration, and find cocaine.

We are a caste society. These low overhead businesses demarcate the bottom caste.
