Cuba??

Where do you get communism from that? What I'm advocating is that, instead of getting drugs that have been through the hands of at least 5 or 6 other guys, each of which having probably cut it with another unknown substance and mixed it with other drugs in order to increase his profits, you get a drug made by a private drug company, but regulated by the government to make sure you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! If it weren't for government regulation, what keeps a company from selling something as aspirin that's 99% filler and 1% some stronger narcotic. It'd be more profitable that way, but would you want to buy it? You know you're safe with aspirin, but when it's this unknown drug mixture, you don't know if it could be ineffective or, even better, kill you.

Maybe you oughta keep your militance in check until you develop a little better foresight
