My intent is, this young man is caught in possession of a nickel bag. To my knowledge, there is nothing about this kid that indicates any international drug cartel, much less a significant menace to society. Nonetheless, every newspaper I saw on Saturday presented this bust as a *major* victory in the war on terrorism !?!? Let's get a grip, and face reality! Whether or not this kid is guilty of anything illegal; or, whether or not his intent was malevolent; this particular event is not even a mote in god's eye, and we'd do well to focus our attentions on more significant portents. Unless, of course, you are simply amused by his exploit . . . -- Best Regards, mds - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
