$20 for a teenth (half an 8ball).....and that's the price for a 'rich' gringo....and it's pure. Here it's about $100 for a teenth and it's been stepped on and cut to where it's probably 15% cocaine. The rest is cut with a baby laxative, usually. edit: the only reason I know this is b/c I saw it on 'Drugs, Inc.'
i appreciate the input, but i have changed my plans and have cancelled my bogota/medellin cocaine tour i was scheduling for february. instead the new plan is still south america though, caracas marathon, february 28 2013.
I haven't personally seen it yet, although I hear nothing but great things about it. I watched Skyfall instead, although I'm not kicking myself too much on that one because it was still a decent film.
Does a bath seem like a waste of energy to you? It doesn't to your dates. Women assume a rumpled bed has sheets that won't pass the smell test. Are you really as lazy as you seem? I make my bed properly when I change the sheets, with all the creases tucked in and the pillows smoothed. The rest of the time I make it roughly and replace the covers and pillow to their correct positions but don't bother to make it all tucked in and smooth. It helps keep the housedust out of the sheets (I am allergic to it) and if the dog gets on the bed it keeps him out of the sheets, too.
It was very well acted, beautifully shot and the story was interesting enough even though the outcome is never in doubt. While some have complained that it focused almost solely on the issue of slavery, to be fair during the time period depicted Lincoln's main thrust was getting the proposed 13th Amendment through the House before the end of the war. Based on my understanding of Lincoln (the person and the president, as opposed to the movie), he struggled with the slavery question for most of his public life and eventually decided that the eradication of the institution was vital to the continuation of the Union. Though he firmly rejected the idea that slaves were property, by today's standards he would likely be considered a racist because he advocated separation of the races and unequivocally opposed granting former slaves what we would consider true equality. A transcript of his fourth debate with Stephen A. Douglas, where he touches upon the subject, is here: http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index.asp?document=1048 So, to my view, the film ascribes modern attitudes to Lincoln that he simply did not have. On another note, while I disagree with many of his actions as President -- for example, suspending the writ of habeas corpus and the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation (Lincoln, the character, makes wonderful arguments against both in the film) -- he is one of a handful of historical figures I think I would like to have had the chance to talk to. He was a successful lawyer and I often recall one of his quotes -- "It is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you be obligated to prove what you can not" -- when working. Sorry, probably more than you wanted to know.
