+ Obviedades de Economista...

Things "The Economist" should have reckoned.

Clearing cheap & lethal landmines (not only in Colombia)
Despite the fact that murderous landmines are cheap & lethal, contrary to popular belief and many pundit's reports they do not take decades to be cleared. As many Lebanese can tell, the use of goats, or other forms of cheap livestock, rather than robots, or exposing humans, is quite an inexpensive way of solving the problem.
If humane groups or vegans complain about their sacrifice, they may volunteer for the task.


The Apocalypse of the decriminalizing drug use...
    ... Is something that has not happened in Portugal, but is eventually happening in next door Spain. Seen as the epitome of personal freedoms after a 40 years lasting dictatorship, the abuse of cocaine has fallen on the Spanish society like an atom bomb : not only have we outranked the U.K. in absolute & relative (/per head) consumption rates, coming second after the U.S., but the substance can now be found in the air (in particles per million) in both Madrid & Barcelona.
    Nobody knows the psychiatric long term effect (besides the evolution towards idiocracy) MDMA, "cooked" Ketamin or GHB or the mixture of many of those substances, can have on the raving youths that in tens of thousands attend the parking lots of large disco areas.
    Furthermore, large amounts of the trade´s opaque tax-free revenue did, as la huge laundering automat, take part in fuelling the construction boom raising the latter up to 10% of GDP - in the proper behaviour of an "addicted economy" - before the credit crunch.
    Yet heroin seems to be staging its comeback, to enabling dealers to perfom proper "product diversification", unless obviously something "new" hits the market...
