Hey buddy. Wanna buy some heroin?
Got some fine shit here. Have you gurgling like a baby, passing those stones with hardly a worry. It isn't your bamboo flavored Vietnamese crap, and won't have you muttering Punjabi or farting curry while you're high either. It's an American product. Ripped it away from some Afghans fair and square. Sure, we could burn it, bury it, or make the Indian Ocean the birthplace of dolphin grunge music, but we've got a better idea. The economy's been down, I'm sure you've heard, and the new man up top has a whole LIST of things he wants funded with junky cash. It's like another tax, collected by the most motivated employees we've ever had. Up a fucking snake ladder of fronts and blinds, and it's back in government pockets. Give the middle class a tax break, just for good PR, we're raking in more now.
Crime rate you ask? Prisons? No worries, just another quick cut of the black budget laundered by the folks who make the laws, and you've got a pittance to keep everyone thinking we CARE about the problem. (Kick some money into DARE again, school kids convince everybody.) We will always have criminals, after all, doesn't matter where we park the ones too dumb to use.
Horrible, you think? Well, we have to put this drug SOMEWHERE. Can't very well siphon it to other "Civilized" nations; they'd aim jackboots at our balls as quick as we did at Manuel. We better use it all up at home market.
Why can't we destroy it all over there? Well, someone would steal it and sell it themselves. Know how many soldiers turned mini drug lord during Nam? Everyone's corrupt, and it'd end up the same place, the money in some fucker's pocket, not Uncle Sam's.
You wouldn't want that would you? It'd be unpatriotic. Buy American.
So, interested in scoring some smack?
:horrormirth: Wicked!
