BTW, is a Sergeant on officer?
ETA - I just looked it up. Around here it's $30,000 a kilo; so his little stash is, give or take, a million dollars.
"A woman that I know just came from Majorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out a 10 pound bag of Cocaine
She said it was the best in all the land
And I said:
No no no no, I don't sniff it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door"
Andy - a non-commissioned officer. NCO. So it was a bit sloppy of the article writer to put "officer" or not depending on windage
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
