''Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the Bible says love your enemy!''

                                                                   -Frank Sinatra                           

Bitcoin is amazingly transformative because its the first time in the entire history of the world in which anybody can now send or receive any amount of money, with anyone else, anywhere on the planet, without having to ask permission from any bank or government. 

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water. 

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chose the side of the opressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not aprreciate your neutrality. 

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet. 

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of out troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

Salut!!
