It's Our Wits That Make Us Wo/Men

It's our wits that make us "wo/man", Movie Braveheart

I know that the spades..are the swords of a soldier
the clubs are the weapons of war
That's not the shape of my heart..

I have come to think there is an argument for "colonization", because a bigger stronger country could bring a smaller "drug terrorized" country back into some order. I have my own country's interests' in heart, initially, but frankly I am horrified by what is happening in these smaller countries, who are overcome by drug lords and inept central government.

If these areas are "colonized" again, they would come under the government of a country that is fundamentally ruled "by law", even as we've seen that law undercut by the current President of the United States.

This "president" will be out in 4 more years, by law, and there is still our long-standing judicial and constitutional process in everlasting process

It would be in these countries' best interests to be "colonized" because their governance is incapacitated by low income, failing farming, etc, so it has become overcome by "drug warriors".

I entirely understand why the drug companies have come into existence. I will give them the credence they actually do deserve. They are "companies", even while most call them "drug lords" or other disparaging terms.

They are "companies" of family and etc, and they have come into existence to preserve their lives and families, against the forces of others.

They actually have more power over us than the other drug companies in the United States of America, because their drugs are killing us, every day.

By coming under "colonization", they'd start to get the same rights and protections that most USAers  feel they have by "right" when they wake up in the morning. Those rights do not come without risks or forfeitures. Yes, you do have to pay property taxes, plus water and etc. fees.

Yes, most decent Americans do want to learn Spanish, French, and then, also of course Latin and Greek.  Ya gavorite pa ruskie. Je parle un peu de Francais. No hablo Espanol Please forgive.
