"It's about money- not drugs."

Thanks for the reality check Woooosh.... as it is, what it is.... $$money$$...

I'm sure the find of a Trillion dollars of minerals in Afaganistan was just great, however.. Production of 90% of the world heroin would surpass that number with in a few years... an, guess what ..... It's environmentally low impact, and sustainable ... has been for thousand of years... many plants originate from this area in the middle east (or part of the early parts of Pangea)...... check your Botany....

And all those Afaganies are farming in the middle ages... ya, think they have John Deer "Green" out in the barn... dry or wet fertilizers... pesticides.. either by ground rig or aerial application ... naw, just a hoe (and I mean the hand held tool used for garden work) and water .... pretty amazing plants.. the poppy and the pot .. the dollar cash value crops combined produce quite a bit of work, and money for a very lot of people... including all the "medical", "courts", "interdiction", "social costs to families".... et al...

And by just making it legal would remove a lot from the equation on the whole thing... Globally ..... like it or not...

As for all those minerals... yeah, I know we need it (we being China and the other developing countries) ... saw just yesterday that china is building 35 million housing units by 2015, so we had better get going to cash in on the boom.... and those mining companies will leave it just as they found it.... right pal...

Progress does not equal "negative environmental impact" in most cases... rather significant modification of the way we must live... in our environment...

Check with those 35 million that will being having new homes in just four years.. lets see what it does to those folks and China... as the negative feed back loops and forcing China, at this time, to make very hard calls on the impact they are having on the their own country's environment, but the world's....

Just works that way, when your up in BILLIONS of human's .... then toss in India.. another 2 billion... think when they all flush, it doesn't have an impact...

Just checked our population density here in Mission Viejo 4,990... and thought about it by comparing the population density of Singapore, 18,898... then tried to imagine what it would be like... right here ... with four times the traffic, people, houses, and all the rest... looks like we are almost getting to Blade Runner...
