My father actually believed that because of the Opium Wars and the 
colonization of Hong Kong, no Chinese would ever take drugs or 
facilitate drug taking because we would be permanently outraged.  But he 
also thought that because the British knew how evil drugs were, the 
British would never have a drug problem.  Do we reap what we sow, yes 
but it looks like it's not so straightforward.  It looks like overall 
the world suffers and so the people responsible suffer also because the 
world is not a better place but do they realize that? Or do they get off 
on having a superiority complex and having the power to choose who 
deserves sympathy?
