Something that all too many forget. Drugs were once legal in the UK and no, it really didn't seem to cause many problems. Other numbers to be kept in perspective: this coming crash. We don't even know if GDP growth will go negative yet in the US, let alone decline significantly. This might not have been the very bestest documentary ever, at least judging by this review. Clever people the French, you know, Cartesian logic and all that. Not all display that admirable quality though. That Tragedy of the Commons stuff: keeps popping up everywhere.

This early variation is one of the reasons that speed controls were present on early record players - that is, to accomodate the different record companies products.
