Who will win?

There is a phrase in Rasta circles "Those who feel it know it".

I always find drunks the more unpredictable of all under influences. I was at a BBQ a month or so back, delivery driver turned up with alcohol and an ounce of weed, totally legal, times are changing, Canada is doing a 3 year experiment in BC decriminalising all personal drugs.

Over time, let us know how that goes

I honestly think it's far better than shooting someone and dumping their corpse on waste ground, it's a progressive rather than backward step, let's see how it plays out, magic mushrooms are also totally legal here, seen a few shroom shops.

You should come back to the Philippines and chill. I don't take anything and I'm 68.

My wife says many people on her island have high blood pressure, Jim.
Maybe it's the diet!

Hope he/she wasn't driving that day

I listen to ambient drone music a lot, Mystica,
It is so peaceful and it relaxes me

There was a bit of a story to that BBQ, the weed smokers were sitting around chilling and eating all the chicken, two of the guys drinking got a bit violent, had an altercation, police were called, one of them was arrested after scuffing with a cop

That's true, Mike. Too much rice and they have a sweet tooth for anything.

There's the difference between weed and booze in a nutshell
All governments make a lot of money from tax on alcohol - there's the kicker

It’s too hot here in the UK today and it’s already a bit too much for me!
Why would I go back to the Philippines?
They don’t have free medications and free GP etc.
Philippines is now only good for holidays for me!

Marcos getting booed stateside.

Without America,I doubt that the Marcos's would or could have been as famous or powerful as they were back then or indeed are today.
The fact that they are being booed by Filams probably in a Liberal state like Washington would probably give the Mother Imelda good reason to smile. The Marcos family have very little love for America ,given how they perceive that the US tricked them into leaving the Philippines in the 1980s instead of transporting them as they were told they were going back home to Illocos.
I doubt very much that BBM or his Mother Imelda will be pandering to the United States wishes this time. On the contrary,this time,revenge will be sweet.At least in their minds.
I may be wrong but I think that the Marcos clan would rather side with China these days after the US epically betrayed them back in the day!

I should ask him for his ticket for F1 and let him do somthing about rebuilding the storm-floods.
