***************  It doesn't even have Cuban or Florida  cane suger in it for
the syrup!  It has that cheaper corn syrup substitute. Does anyone know how
many mg or micrograms of cocaine the original coke might have had in it?  It
was packaged in about a 6 ounce bottle.  It would be interesting to
manufacture a REAL THING and try it out.  I wonder if the original Coca-Cola
only had a trace amount of cocaine in it and that the effect was from sugar
and placebo cocaine? I believe that is the offical story from the Coca-Cola
Company.

until  the government saw keeping having fun with them.

Bob, the government seems to be happy collecting money from our legal drugs
like alcohol, tobacco, coffee.  Plenty of money is being made by all from
selling expensive vodka like Gray Goose to those that can afford it and
T-Bird to those that are really addicted.  Phillip Morris stock has been a
great investment and we all know about the success of Star Bucks getting
people to pay a lot for what used to be an inexpensive cup of coffee.

Do you doubt that organized crime is a division of the government?  Congress
itself is organized crime!  The police gets lots of free money and cars by
taking them without due process from drug dealers. They can then hire more
cops, get pay increases, buy machine guns to play with, etc.  Then there is
the money the police get to look the other way when the street pharmacists
are dispensing illegal drugs. Uncle Sam needs the illegal money for his
operations over the world (Well, that is what I hear!  But I know our true
red, white, and blue government would never lie to us.)

The government can't have you on a continuous mind trip as you would be
unable to flip burgers or to put Chinese goods on the shelves as they arrive
at the local Wally World.  It should be possible to plant electrodes in the
brain and then you could wear a joy pacemaker that could be set to make you
feel as good and happy as you like.  You earn so much WORK credits and you
get so many pleasure hits programmed into your joy pacemaker.

If it were up to the pharmaceutical companies, everyone would be taking the
most expensive version of Prozac or some other antidepressant drug. In some
of their advertising they say it is abnormal to feel depression. Don't
forget that it is not normal to feel super happy all the time. If you have
lost your job, your girlfriend, your house in New Orleans, etc., why should
you feel very happy?  Of course you could feel happy just to be alive as you
are in the minority of people that have been born into this world. Most are
dead and forgotten by now. Depressing isn't it?  I think I will reach for a
mood altering drug.
