I have to say we have all heard it before: I am with the Government and I am here to help you. Total B.S., anyone who thinks the Government is here to help you, better get a psychiatrist to find out way they feel this way, and to make sure they get back into reality.
Shit if he does not like it here in the US, maybe he should go to Columbia, where small amounts of cocaine can be legal to purchase. Like maybe a 1/4 oz of his blow.
