Historians are to nationalism ordsprog
 Historians are to nationalism what poppy-growers in Pakistan are to heroin-addicts: we supply the essential raw material for the market. |
| People have overlooked the advantages of being a heroin addict. Heroin addicts have no difficult, challenging, hard-to-solve problems. Heroin addicts only have one problem. If you'll just get yourself addicted to crack, you won't have any problems. |
| A lot of the crime we had was driven by heroin addicts and crack addicts, |
| If tobacco suddenly were unavailable and was as expensive as heroin and cocaine, I think that you would find that the behavior of some tobacco addicts would be very much like the behavior of some addicts of heroin and cocaine, |
| We have expressed serious concerns. Heroin addicts are incredibly vulnerable people and we are worried they could be exploited. |
| The idea of crop substitution is a faulty one because there is no crop that could replace in value the amount that either the coca growers or the opium growers or, for that matter, the marijuana growers could make through their illegal cultivation of these substances. The idea of alternative development and legitimate livelihoods is to take a broad, integrated approach toward the issue, both on the supply side and on the demand side. |
| I went to a friend's house and we just started using. I took myself out of the picture for a second, and I looked around at every single person in the room - at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near to 30, unemployed, living off their parents... they were heroin addicts. They were just guys on The World's Biggest Couch Tour. |
| Peter Lehmann saved the growers, and Robert O'Callaghan stood in front of the bulldozers waiting to pull out the old vines. To keep the growers in business, Lehmann bought their fruit, made it into wine, and told the growers they would be paid when the wines were sold. It might have taken him three years, but the growers got paid. |
| There's a sense that when you have a bunch of people in a situation of extreme stress and duress, there will be something timeless about human nature that dictates that people will respond in pretty much the same way. I've been describing it as a historical novel about nationalism, cannibalism and unrequited love, with the nationalism being the important part. It is really about the nationalism and tribalism of our present day as it is about the 1870s. |
| We have corn production, the growers, we have the expertise to provide the raw material. |
| It's great when they call us and tell us what's going on, and they are excited about a new life free of addictions. Most addicts don't want to be addicts. |
| I'm not aware of any previous government attempt to retrieve such material. Librarians and historians are having a fit, and I can't imagine a bigger chill to journalists. |
| The drive toward economic nationalism is only part of the general revival of nationalism. |
| I do not believe that the values which the Western democracies consider essential to civilization can survive in a world rent by the international anarchy of nationalism and the economic anarchy of competitive enterprise. |
