For once I read some very good intelligent comments in the video and by the postings of viewers.
The problems we have could be solved if we really wanted to take the time to think. Think. Who is the real force behind all our troubles. Who indeed. The list is so long I can't even begin, but the root cause is down to one simple statement made a long long time ago. Here it is. "God, If you don't make me a God like you, I will destroy your beautiful creation". Do I really have to name the speaker?
We could definatly process and sell that crop faster than they can grow it. Think how prosperous Canada could be?! Even without exporting, we would probably be one of the richest nations in the world in a very short time.
Goddamn, if that isn't the smartest thing I've heard in a long time - genuis is saying first what everyone else will then say is obvious. The amount of money need to buy the WHOLE of the Afghan poppy production is VERY SMALL compared to the financial cost of fighting that plant's pernicious derivatives. Keep up the great comments, Scotsdoc; I notice you say you are 76, don't you dare go gently into that good night.
two problems with the poppy buying theory. (they don't completely ruin it, but they do expose it not the be the great eureka that some people would make it seem)
1. Supply and demand. The cost of a poppy now is not what we will pay if we start buying them. If we buy them then the demand on the illegal side goes up and so does the price, enter a bidding war with terrorists.
2. Coercion, the taliban will threaten and bully the farmer into selling them their opium.
I AGREE 100% on that BLACKGUARD JOHN WALTERS of the U.S. DEA. That bastard was up here in Vancouver railing against our 'safe injection site' which has proved so successful in preventing HIV transmission!!
In Afghanistan we should BUY the poppy crop if we want the peasant's co-operation!! Unless we do the war will continue into the far future and our Canadian troops will be driven out as infidel invaders!
I don't want to pay for a building where useless people can make themselves feel good. If they want to feel good they can go get a job and feel good from self worth.
excellent work!
