        1. OK I have some thoughts because I haven't been amused by all the jokes about Colombian drug lords since I decided to come here.

        1) Pablo Escobar died 20 years ago and 2) most of the cocaine went to the USA. Why only blame supply? Demand was there.

      Not like other countries don't have recent history to be deeply ashamed of. Treatment of natives in Canada & Australia. Illegal war US & UK.

    Or even more recent: UK used anti-terror legislation against Iceland. And USA cops are murdering PoC on the regular without repercussions.

      Basically finger pointing is bullshit - every country has history not to be proud of.

        Anyway I felt safer here than in NYC or SF, or on the London Underground, or in the Australian bush, or flying NK national airline.

          No one offered me drugs. People were nothing but kind. I felt so welcome here. I would come back in a heartbeat.
