Good thing you brought it here. Nothing solves a mystery faster than wild ass conjecture.

If you discount those factors, how do you resolve the varied reactions of the different substances? Not every heroin user becomes dependent; though a great many do.
I didn't think the jury was in for chemical dependence wrt nicotine and cocaine.
So, if the CBC reported it, it does not count? That is convenient.
If you were interested, though I doubt you are, you could look at the references, citations, etc.. in:
Muzzling Civil Servants: A Threat to Democracy?
which google will happily provide you a pointer to.
In the unlikely event that you would bother, I am sure you would label them all, along with the authors, institutions, neighbourhoods, cities and provinces as anti-right. Facts are no match for blind, stupid partisanship.
An EU directive officially protects Leprechauns in an area known as The Sliabh Foy Loop due to Irish Law.
Would it be shocking if electric unit definitions themselves formed a circuit?
Thank you very much, Iâ(TM)ll be here all week.
Is there anything it cannot do?
The old C++ looks better and better as they nail every bit of crap they can find to her wretched offspring.
Some book I was reading has a story about a pair of suit salemen in the 1930s. When a customer wanted the price of the suit, one would yell the question to the other. The other replied $42, loudly and had to repeat it. The one would then tell the customer âoemy brother says its $20â. The customer would quickly buy the suit, taking advantage his hearing loss.
The Brick use such a variety of dubious sales and payment practices, if I found myself with an unexpected discount, I would be afraid I signed up for some weird loan.
Half of the Brickâ(TM)s customers have no idea what the real price they are paying is.
Have you ever used a mac? Your great spouting of cliches suggest you havenâ(TM)t.
OS X is UNIX(tm) - not UNIX-like, UNIX-wannabe, etc... UNIX. http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3602.htm/
When did the shielding of lower layers become contradictory to UNIX philosophy?
Why do you think it is called a shell?
The point is to sell surveillance equipment; have you been asleep for a decade?
The invested parties - police, politicians, journalists, arms dealers and church leaders all have a problem: Crime is on a long decreasing trend, and nobody knows why!
The police, to justify monstrous budgets, love surveillance gear. On the odd occasion it is useful for something other than catching shady cops, it makes for great TV. Great TV makes for proud citizens; and easy budget cycles. Journalists love great footage, so they can collect paycheques without working for it.
Politicians love police (from a certain distance) since they lend a sheen of goodness to their creepy incompetence.
This makes for easy pickings for the surveillance industry to sell boatloads of worthless crap to incompetents who have been trusted with your money. The last thing they need is some bearded hippy pointing out that it is all a scam.
The earth is a fascinating place, with all its changes over time.
In that 20,000 years civilization has risen from nearly nothing to what we have today, despite us being virtually unchanged. The likely footing for this advancement is stability of food supply, which rests upon the stability of climate.
Tiring, I am sure, but critical none the less.
Google Subterrain was voted out by focus groups. The troglodyte minority was trounced by those smug hipsters with their Earth and Streetview apps.

Cue the frothing idiot tax minions....
I saw a documentary once where people took an hallucinogenic tincture in one. Apparently you might regress into an ape-like form.
Its on my bucket list.
Not throwing money, focussing on the health and wellbeing of the people. In Haiti, that has been a success, due to the hard work of Haitians and international volunteers in providing health care, food, shelter and supplies.
The problem you are alluding to, that money for Haiti has been used by intermediary groups and governments as an in-and-out scheme to launder money and prop-up domestic business failures is quite different. The responsibility for first world corruption should remain in the first world.
