The war on (some) drugs continues

[andrewducker]

When they talk about "The War On Drugs", I didn't realise that the US air force is giving their troops amphetamines and then sending them out to fly missions.

I've seen some my friends on amphetamines. They have all of the judgement of a startled dog. You might as well fill them full of hyper-strength coffee until they're bouncing off the walls and then hand them a machine gun. In fact, that's exactly what theyr'e doing.

Please, lord, if there's going to be a war, keep it the hell away from me.

Well, Canada seems to be a lot more sensible in many respects. Britain isn't bad (even if our glorious leaders do seem to be rather in love with the US). I hear that Holland (and Amsterdam specifically) is very good.

I recommend taking a few long holidays in exotic places (make friends over LJ first, to make it easier to visit cheap) and ask lots of silly questions to get a feel for them.

I don't think, by the way, that America is going to get _that_ bad. But I don't know if it'll take a look in the mirror and work it out before it dips much further.
