Documentary: Cocaine Cowboys

This past weekend I watched a documentary called Cocaine Cowboys. Holy shit was it interesting. It talks about Miami in the 70's and 80's when cocaine was just starting to become popular. They interview the guys that were bringing it in and even a guy that was basically a professional hit man.

They talk about how Miami was practically built from cocaine money. These guys, the traffickers, had so much money that they buried it in their back yards. They also show news tapes of the cocaine cowboys going on shooting sprees and talk about the war between the Cubans and Colombians. This was before my time, I was born in '81, and I really had no idea that Miami was ever as bad as it was. At one point they had more than 600 murders in a single year. I highly recommend this movie if you can find it, especially if you are in the dark about that time period in Miami like I was. When it was over, my mouth was literally hanging open. If you have seen it, and you were alive back then, what did you think? Did they portray the time period pretty accurately?

Everytime I hear a line with the word "cocaine" in it, I can't help but think how that narcotic painkiller (yep, it is a pain killer who those suffering severe mental and/or physical pain, which tells one something about the character and nature of the hordes of Americans addicted to the stuff...{get a life and deal, uh, with your problems instead of playing the ostrich(estrich, susan)and burying ye olde heade in, uh, say...the sand...}) has altered the character of the USA. And isn't it ironic that this nation, allegedly dedicated to suppressing and countering the idiotic use of drugs, has a love affair with the sidecars attached to the theories of Sigmund Freud? Since Freud came up with his idiotic (yes, from the subterreanian depths where Bob Dylan got all his melodious bull fingers) images, sent there by the vast amounts of Cocaine he used while pondering his own fetal nature (See 'The Cocaine Papers' ). Circles are vagina's and pencils are penis', and everybody is a subconsious Oedipus Rex, etecetera. Sounds to me like the babblings of a deranged coke head...
And America follows these drugged jackasses around like they are worth the circular weave sponsered by another derelict: the news media.
Everybody wonders who were the three bums at the Dealey Plaza oozing out the windows and doors of the Texas School Depository. Easy Rider: these were the symbolic American tramps...executive, legislative and judical in nature, and all aboard a boxcar headed for the Eagles Nest to serve their beloved papa bear...


Coke is not the door to wisdom, and nothing can be re-created with it but chaos and confusion.
So those who open themselves to it are severely intoxicated with dementia.
