    You do know that if drinks like coffee and tea were developed today, they'd be banned in the name of war on drugs?

    Like baseball, who cares about slashdot anymore. I can't wait until slashdot has gone missing. This would be a sort economic censorship involving slashdot and LNUX going TitsUp. Truly an effective way of the marketplace telling slahsdot that it sucks arse, and is run by wankers, and that even the most geekiest of geeks want no part of it's incompetency and irrelevance.

    The 'war' on drugs would no exist witout companies like ICI lobbying to get canabis banned when they got a patent on making paper from wood pulp (instead of hemp) all them years ago.

    Hong-Kong was 'given' to the UK for 100 years in 189x for the sole perpouse of supplying the world with morphine.

    The only reason there is still a 'war' is because the Anti-Drugs legislation was the first piece of international legislation of it's type (and you wouldn't want to loose that).

    Meat contains drugs so does loads of fruit and vedge.

    Baseball is run by a man that insiders call "Shoeless Bud Selig".

    It has bad leadership and it doesn't care.

    TO those of you who blame the players, you're being a cluefuck.

    The owners (and bud selig) are so awful that if there was a just god, he would have gotten rid of Selig a long time ago.

    That's the truth
