I’m tickled.
Did you hear?
Researchers found sharks off the coast of Brazil heavily contaminated with cocaine.
The news is over CNN.
In the absence of details, I’m guessing that cocaine producers in the neighbourhood of Brazil have been dumping cocaine-laced materials in such large quantities enough to affect sharks, which are prehistoric creatures.
I’m not guessing that the sharks benefited or are being harmed.
But I do think that the psychedelic and hallucinating impact of cocaine that made zombies of human beings are having an impact on the fishery kind.
Perhaps sharks in waters around Latin America will be less inclined to attack humans??
Or they’ll start dancing when high?
If cocaine pollution could do things to sharks, can you imagine how fentanyl can be a terrible biological weapon?
The USA is facing a fentanyl epidemic with thousands dying every year from its addiction.
When I considered that second hand smoke from tobacco is carcinogenic, I dread to think how any atmosphere thick with cocaine or fentanyl can also harm those sharing the air or space!
Could the insanity around the US nowadays be a sign?
And, haven’t we all been told, either by our parents, elders or our pastors, that we should be wary of mixing with the wrong people?
Did they know better all this time?
So, what should I make of our air/space/environment full of self righteous, self serving half wits who get upset easily and make enemies of anyone who don’t sha’re their beliefs?
The word to be wary of is ‘CONTAGIOUS’.
Like cocaine and virus, being dumb is contagious.
What’s common among them is they don’t push an agenda.
The pushers promote cocaine/fentanyl use like politicians promote dumbness and its many derivatives, and it is coming to you airborne.
