It was interesting to note on Luke Nguyen’s Travel/Cooking show this week, filmed in Thailand’s ‘Hill country’ where previously huge tracts of land were used to grow Opium poppies, that the King who was concerned about the damage that opium was causing not only to his people, but to the rest of the world. (read addicts not medical usage) .. The King’s method of dealing with the problem was to NOT “send in the troops” to attack/kill/maim/control etc etc .. but to GIVE the people other/alternative crops to grow (50 species of vegetables and many fruit trees) to help them maintain an income …. Peace and working together for a better outcome solved the problem .. It was sooo refreshing to hear … Maybe other world ‘leaders’ should be asked to watch and learn from such a compassionate, caring and visionary,leader.;
