on the wealth of neighborhoods
I bought drugs from a republican today. His work was surprisingly consistent with his ideology of free market capitalism in a competitive environment with little regulation. specifically, I bought xanax and dolophine, so the guy had similar but not identical taste in drugs to rush limbaugh, who was into OC. now, dubya's frat boy coke habit is actually not very consistent with classical conservative ideology. i have trouble reconciling cocaine with conservatism. It seems more like a drug for people who consider themselves clients of a large bureaucratic para-governmental institution. the coke cartels are not something that free market conservatism could permit. they would be a threat to the independent merchant's capital initiative. Additionally, reinvestment of drug capital in the products manufactured domestically of which oxycontin, a purdue frederick product is an example is more in keeping with conservative economic principles than using that same capital to invest in a relationship with overseas interests which depend for their security on leftist paramilitaries in latin america. Next time you do a bump, remember that you're doing it for free-trading wilsonian internationalism and next time you do an OC remember that you're supporting domestic industry. god speed the plowed.
