17. Because it's all pillaging the land and the people, no legal economy or exports at all....
Edited on Tue May-27-08 05:13 PM by gbscar
Call me whatever you want, but it's funny to see you make a list of facts (as sloppy and two dimensional as you are presenting them, like your assumption that the government itself ends up with all the land from displacement...which is quite wrong) that totally avoid the main issue and just try to go for the "moral" punch, so to speak, not seeking actual logic or a real explanation.

All that you've explained is part of the truth, that is obvious and I could even agree with your showing moral outrage for it (it would be easier for me, in fact), but it's woefully incomplete and doesn't really explain much, when you think about the original point. Which is that drugs aren't Colombia's only source of wealth by any means.

But I guess that doesn't matter here.

Black and white pictures uber alles!
