I hate the hipocrisy surrouning Alcohol & cigarettes .Because the church uses wine in it's service,it makes it acceptable,which in turn gives it respectability.Now the last monopoly still viable in society,after slavery & opium,became outlawed,tobacco & booze is solid state.
How do you think we took the land from African tribes. When we 1st set up shop,along with the Dutch.Historical records tell us how we traded beads & other meanial necessities,then,when some trust was established,brought out the fags & booze,knowing full well how popularly it would be embraced...& it was. The natives traded food then the odd cow,this was the tipping point,as for any native society,cattle are their lifesblood,so little by little,they succumbed, till they had no cattle after trading the last. All that remained was the land they occupied. The tribe in question were named the " Hottentots " ( beleive it or not ).There were other tribes out there that the European invaders had never layed eyes upon,the (Bantu ).They did meet eventually,these were not up for a trade in fact they were one the finest fighting forces ( without guns ) in History,by now they were a fusion of Bantu & became known as the " Zulu ".The rest is History. History therefore shows & tells us our leaders know how to use Alcohol & Tobacco to keep us down...
You can fool some of the people,some of the time...
