Oh my God, the little darlings like drinking vodka- who'd have thought it?
The Russians?
Now that I've gone and gotten the low hanging fruit...
mainly in the context of organised crime and drug gangs.
Which makes it seem somewhat less anarchic until I remember what drug gangs are like over here (and I doubt they are all that much different most anywhere)...
being white makes a difference I suppose I don't need to say that it does here as well; somewhere in my head there's a process that's trying to make sense of how the signs of implicit, obscured racism are different here and there differ and how they are the same...
by the young people and alcohol scenario A perennial favorite, if ever there was one. Right now, I think we're coming down off another cycle of MySpace panic in the wake of that case where the woman got one of her daughter's classmates to kill herself using a fake account, but I'm sure alcohol will be making a comeback (it is graduation season, and I'm quite certain the annual blood sacrifice is soaking into the roots of be-crossed trees along roadways all over this land).
It's amazing the staying power of alcohol. Crack cocaine had its day in the 80's and crystal meth at the beginning of the decade, but some things alway seem to be in style.
