The population is alienated--being 'consumers' instead of 'citizens' leads to a spiritual void because the values of the people are not rooted in something meaningful and tangible.<BR/><BR/>In its leaf-form, coca is similar to tabocco, which is chewed daily by millions of US citizens--with a minimum of adverse health effects. Why can't we pressure the US to change its laws so as to allow the importation of the leaf?<BR/><BR/>Your discourse in this thread mirrors that of the US State Department. Demanding that Boliva 'eradicate' coca--instead of demanding that the US 'eradicate' their alienation problem or change its laws to allow for the importation of coca-based products (tea, soap, body therapy, etc.)--is a non-started, and will only lead to more failure and insanity on the part of the decrepit empire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
