This is a bad day for Boston, but I think if we pull together we'll get through it.

All drugs of any interest to any moderately intelligent person in America are now illegal.

Seafarers are used to being exploited. At sea, the captain moans at chandlers who supply ships with green bananas that will never ripen; at fruit that goes moldy obscenely fast; at sub-standard meat.
