Comment But one of the problems clearly present in the American (etc., etc.) public life.

How many people have lost lives, or have ruined their lives, due to the drugs in the US ? I do not know any reliable statistics, one can guess such a number reaching into the millions.

Did you know that the drug plague in this country was at least in part caused by the deliberate and organized effort stemming from the politics within the Soviet Communist Party of undermining "imperialism" by any possible means ? (Please confer Red Cocaine by Douglass.)

Is not the present-day drug traffic in the South America at least in part in the hands of some marxist guerillas ?

(One ventures a question : is any part of the South American drug industry not in the hands of some criminal marxists ? )

What use spraying somebody's crops in Columbia, the like ? — which in many instances only ruins some poor and relatively innocent peasant ?

What use spending some 2 or 3 billion dollars — on handling the drug problem in the South America — which, it seems, the US has spent — if the underlying ideological issues be overlooked ?

On the "Red States" and the "Blue States"

From LOS ANGELES TIMES EDITORIAL, 4 November 2004
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-ed-divide4nov04,1,5121368.story

[ the article does not show "on-line" (27 July 06). Some hard copies of the edition should be extant in some archives.]

"Bush improved on his 2000 performance by winning the popular vote this time, but his failure to broaden his national market share stands in marked contrast to most other presidents who have won reelection. Narrow wins by Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were followed by convincing incumbent landslides four years later. Bush, by contrast, won a second term and a stronger majority in the Congress by further galvanizing already red [?] states.

"None of this augurs well for a less-polarized nation or a blurring of rural red [?] and urban blue [?] into a mellowing purple. The administration and Bush's red-state [?] supporters will probably feel emboldened by Tuesday's results to press ahead with their agenda, and that will only increase the feeling of alienation in states like California and New York.

"Tuesday's exit polls added to the sense that the red-blue schism [?!] might be more intractable than we would have liked to believe. That's because it is defined less by issues of the day than by battling cultures. "

Hours after the 2004 election came to an emotional end midday Wednesday, campaign placards still littered the landscape like muskets discarded on a battlefield. They hinted of passions still not cooled, scores unsettled. On a winding road in the Maryland...

A Grim Study in Red and Blue November 4, 2004
[ author ? ]
Get along? I don't think so. The truth is, we can't all just get along, not anytime soon, unless some things change. To start, President Bush has to quit saying his side is good (God told him so) and the other side is bad. Republicans didn't just...

By the way : I do not believe that this criminal action of disinformation was limited to the Los Angeles Times.
