I woke up early this morning to reblog a post about climate change, but my tablet opened on a Word Press page that promoted the following news story. The title below caught my eye — how could it not! Reading the story sent shivers up my spine. The whole of Mexico has only one, yes one, legal gun store, on a military base in Mexico City. Yet Mexico has been the site of over 150,000 gun deaths since 2006, almost all at the hands of well-armed drug cartels. Does this make sense? Where do they get all their weapons from? Illegal gun dealers? Maybe a few. Believe it or not, they actually buy them legally, in the USA!
Draw your own conclusions. To me buying guns legally with drug money should not be possible. But gun dealers in…

Considering the shooting deaths in the U.S., how many of them could have been, avoided, had a, stricter gun control law gotten, passed? And, the U.S. diverts attention to south of the border, and blame the prevalence of firearms on the, drug cartels? How does that, make, sense??? It’s just, an, excuse that the, Republicans have, for their being, funded by the, N.R.A., nothing more, and, the shootings with firearms will, keep on increasing in the U.S. for sure.

It’s free money to the arms dealers, who don’t give a flying fuck where the money comes from. Gun dealers by their nature are not good citizens of a community.

Some while back a South American drug cartel lord boasted of his product ‘This is our Atom Bomb. We are going to teach the USA to respect us,’
Warped thinking considering the amount of killing of his own countryfolk but there is a sliver of truth there.

I never heard that one, but I can see the way they felt. The US tdeats Mexico, and Canada, as their source for many of the things they cannot get on their own, i have never wanted to drop a nuclear bomb on America, but their are timex I have wanted a way yo teach ghem some humility.
But to do it with drugs is hurting the wrong people. They need to attack the wealthy, not tye poor. $1000 bills laced with liquid acid might do the trick.

Rich folk tripping out on $1000 bills?
Now there’s a thought. That’s one Reality show I might be tempted to watch.

It could be very interesting, especially since liquid acid has no contaminants to tie it to the body — a pure mind stone! Every kind of acid I took in the 60s had some strychnine or STP or something that kept the mind in touch with the body — and even so I tore my mind away from my body two times — but watching a party of billionaires turn on? That might be a helluva reality show!

Gonna be a long show though. I want the full experience, from the dude grabbing the $1000 bill until he crashes about 8 hours later, if he lasts that long…

Only until they find out the bills are spiked. Then it will be a show about how long can the rich guys resist taking the $1000 bills. I’m betting they can’t!
Did you know Canadian $1000 bills are purple? I had five of them in my hand one day. I was working as a black jack dealer in the casino!

A TV series should always have a follow-up!
I’m hopeless on colours, so go by numbers and designs, I’ll bear that in mind though if one should pass through my hands (It might, y’ never know).
Five though….Wow. I’m guessing you really have to keep your wits about you and eyes sharp with a job like that.
