Hugs Not Drugs
One of the many things I like about Argentina is you can still hug kids in the schools. Here is one of the teachers hugging a student and then the director hugging another.
The director (The one in the white, not the pink! Though it would be fun to give the little girl a chance!)
This would be illegal in the United States (Often called "The Land of the Free" by patriotic, untravelled Americans) And I am pretty sure the USA is the largest consumer of drugs, per capita in the world, (both legal - such as anti-depressants for teenagers, and illegal), I think of the bumper sticker "Hugs not Drugs". I also think of the addictions prevention center in Oran, where I plan get more involved in the future. And I think of how the US government is trying to stop the production of cocaine in South America instead of accepting the reality that the US society is so emotionally painful and depressing that it is the world's largest market.
By the way, the new Bolivian president, Morales, is trying to get the export of coco leaves legalized, so I have been told, while the USA wants Bolivia to make it illegal to grow. On my Bolivia pages you can see a pic of coco leaves. And on YouTube you can see how cocaine is made (and how the USA is killing the plants by spraying poison from planes.)
