Nearly sixty percent of cigarettes are smuggled in New York due to a high tax of $5 a pack (article)
…for smugglers, the rewards can be huge. With a van and some start-up money, a day trip to Virginia — where cigarettes are taxed 30 cents per pack, compared to $5.85 in New York City — could net a smuggler more than $40,000 in profit when the goods are resold in the city. All for a few relatively low-risk hours along I-95.

My brother and I recently took some powerful mushrooms and I have to say as a non religious person, it was the closest I will ever get to a “religious” experience. I had a trip where I was floating through space near the speed of light, taking on the form of a gaseous cloud or some such. I was able to see distant planets, galaxies, nebulas and the like, taking in all of their visual splendor. Time felt stretched, as though I was out in space for what felt like a thousand years. As I continued to float I eventually became sad. I could see all these great things but I could not touch them, hear them, feel them, taste them nor experience them in a “human” way besides just experiencing them visually. This saddened me and my thoughts began to drift back to earth. My trip abruptly ended and I came to in my bedroom. Thinking on it after the fact really made me appreciate the “little” things we humans have here on earth, the feeling of wind against my cheek or grass between my toes. As normally a glass half empty kind of guy it gave me a different outlook on life. It made me think what is the point of life if you cannot experience everything, every sight, sound, feeling, the good and the bad, all of it is part of the human experience. I had always thought that having an organic body, as a human, was one of our greatest flaws, I mean who wants to grow old and die? But now, after taking those magic mushrooms and my resulting trip it made me realize it is one of our greatest advantages as a sentient being and for the next 60 odd years or so I plan on experiencing everything that I can. From then on my thoughts have stayed here on planet Earth, in the now. I now appreciate everything around me just a little bit more. A gaseous cloud does not have shit on semi intelligent ape creatures such as we. – ogw

Thus began the ‘Great Cattle Killing’ after which over 40,000 Xhosa died in the resulting famine. (article)
It was also a Xhosa group that bought “charms” from the government that protected them from death. They then marched into a market with AK’s and shot at people. When the police arrived they dispatched the gunmen easily, as they were not taking cover, so confident in the charms they purchased.

GIGI CHAO’S LETTER TO HER FATHER
Dear Daddy,
I thought the timing was right for us to have a candid conversation.
You are one of the most mentally astute, energetic yet well mannered and hard-working people this humble earth has ever known.
Your confidence, quick wit, and charisma brightens any room you enter.
I love you very much, and I think I can speak for my brothers also, that we have the utmost respect for you as a father and role model in business.
I am sorry that people have been saying insensitive things about you lately. The truth is, they don’t understand that I will always forgive you for thinking the way you do, because I know you think you are acting in my best interests. And we both don’t care if anybody else understands.
As your daughter, I would want nothing more than to make you happy. But in terms of relationships, your expectations of me and the reality of who I am, are not coherent.
I am responsible for some of this misplaced expectation, because I must have misled you to hope there were other options for me. You know I’ve had male lovers in the past, and I’ve had happy, albeit short-lived, relationships. I found myself temporarily happy, buoyed by the freshness, the attention, the interest, of someone physically stronger than myself.
But it was always short-lived, as I quickly lost patience, and felt an indescribable discomfort in their presence. It usually made me frustrated, and I would yearn for my freedom again. I’ve broken a few hearts, hearts of good, honest and loving men, and I’m sorry that it had to be so.
But with Sean, a woman, somehow it was different. I am comfortable and satisfied with my life and completely at ease with her. I know it’s difficult for you to understand how I could feel romantically attracted to a woman; I suppose I can’t really explain it either. It just happens, peacefully and gently, and after so many years, we still love each other very much.
My regret is that you have no idea how happy I am with my life, and there are aspects of my life that you don’t share. I suppose we don’t need each other’s approval for our romantic relationships, and I am sure your relationships are really fantastic too.
However, I do love my partner Sean, who does a good job of looking after me, ensuring I am fed, bathed and warm enough every day, and generally cheering me up to be a happy, jolly girl. She is a large part of my life, and I am a better person because of her.
Now, I’m not asking you to be best of friends; however, it would mean the world to me if you could just not be so terrified of her, and treat her like a normal, dignified human being.
I understand it is difficult for you to understand, let alone accept this truth.
I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out who I am, what is important in my life, who I love and how best to live life, as an expression of all these questions. I am proud of my life, and I would not choose to live it any other way (except also figuring out how to be gentler on the planet).
I’m sorry to mislead you to think I was only in a lesbian relationship because there was a shortage of good, suitable men in Hong Kong.
There are plenty of good men, they are just not for me.
Wishing you happiness.
Patiently yours,
Your daughter, Gigi.
