While I agree with you about the free market economy I think you are overlooking a few key factors.
The illegal drugs they are selling is mostly to Americans. By and large the drugs come here to be bought, cut, distributed and used by Americans. Now if you are a small time goat farmer and you know you can make a 10000% (actually I know this figure is a bit low but still) more money by growing/selling poppy you had better believe you would. Now as far as the honest men thing...is it not honest to be an immigrant and get and hold a job? Or wait are the drug USERS honest men? Supply and demand we stop smoking and shooting that shit up they have no one to sell it to. My grandfather came here from Scotland. He joined the service and stormed Normandy. He also helped bootleg when was home. Was it honest...no. Was he honorable...depends on your opinion I guess. But he came here, was educated here, and then served this country that gave him a new home, in WW2 voluntarily. Was he "am immigrant taking jobs from honest men" ? Yup, his country was suffering and he left, to make a new home. Just the same as millions of immigrants have done, time and time again. Now on my mom's side well...they were American Indian so let's not even discuss here what the settlers REALLY did...I ain't looking to open THAT can of worms. Nor start a flame war or something equally pointless. I am the first in my family who was born to another American born here. Everyone before me had immigrant parents. I am a US Army combat vet, and work for the DOD. At 34 I am finally in college, because I can finally afford it. I own a home, raise a family, and pay taxes, and vote. I also do not mean to seem to be jumping down your throat, but I work at a Naval yard and all day I hear people who have high paying and pretty cushy jobs comparatively to their outside the government counterparts, complain about minority this, immigrant that. Yet most of them stand in glass houses because in this area, we have just as much drug use, crime (per capita obviously), and the like and...it is all white. The entire state has single digit minority status. So while I cant stand welfare, I cant stand paying for Laquisha and her 18 children from 6 fathers, I cant stand that the government PAYS immigrants grants to come here and open more 7-11's. Pays them to go to school etc. I also cant stand when people in this country don't pick themselves up by the boot straps get themselves educated and get a freaking job. Half the reason this country is screwed is because people here get a POS education because we pass everyone, everyone gets to play the game, no child left behind etc. Bull...We have clowns in office because people do not do their homework or read and find out who they are electing. Sorry. Long day. Longer Rant. But I have a govt job and I'll compare my D@$% to yours (or DD214) any day of the week, drink a beer with you at the VFW or at the Legion Post. But if you would like to have a PM conversation on the issue I would love to discuss the role of the political elite in America and the role of the public education system indoctrinating America's youth into a neo-proletariate regiem built upon the 8th place trophy mentality that is responsible for the vaginization of society. But rants like that....um dude. Sorry you had a long day joorde. Just know I understand you. ;)

haha. or "politricks" as Bob Marley used to say. "isms and schisms." bloodclot!!
my fiance and i were watching the election results last night and she wanted to look away because she was getting so fired up. i said to her "you have to be able to conquer those emotions of yours. if you show emotion, you show weakness. be smarter than that." she was able to chill. i wish most people were that responsive. |

I apologize all. I immediately edited and deleted 90% of the post. I was not quick enough and I apologize to any/all who I have offended. Again my sincere apology, I will think a bit more before posting. Done in haste or otherwise.
