Another \'War On Drugs\' backfire ...........
Apparently the U.S. has been spending millions to spray roundup over coca crops in central and sounth america. The effect for the first few years has been reduced coca delivered for cocaine extraction....
AND
The destruction of non coca crops planted by former coca farmers who are attempting to leave behind dependency on coca farming
AND
A ROUNDUP RESISTANT COCA PLANT!! Ain't natural selection the cats meow? So now that farmers who previously farmed coca have invested in other crops (due to influence of the U.S.) are having to hunt down cuttings of the resistant strain of coca because it is the only crop that will grow in the areas that are sprayed with roundup.
This is either sheer stupidity on the part of the U.S. gov't because the SHOULD have seen this scenario OR it's a brilliant way to maintain job security. It's like digging holes to acquire dirt to fill holes dug to aquire dirt to fill holes dug to aquire dirt to work harder to buy more cocaine so that I can work harder so that I can buy more cocaine so that I can work harder.............
