Priorities

From a story in The Herald on curbing cocaine in Columbia:
Ana Maria Caballero, adviser to the vice-president of Columbia, attended the conference to encourage those who take the drug to consider the impact on global warming.

"We have lost two million hectares of tropical rain forest as a result of the slash-and-burn techniques used by the drug growers," she said.
Something tells me that Miss Caballero has been indulging in another drug of her choice.

  1. Colombia is spelled Colombia... not Columbia. Unless you are referring to drug use in the infamous Space Shuttle of the same name.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
