On Chemical Warfare

The House of Representatives here in Indonesia unanimously endorsed a bill that allows the use of the death sentence to individuals who develop, produce and possess chemical weapons.

The bill as ratified says the use, transfer and acts to facilitate the use of chemical weapons will be punishable by sentences ranging from four years' imprisonment to capital punishment. The bill also bans individuals from involvement in the use of chemical weapons for military purposes.

While the bill bans trafficking of deadly toxic chemicals, it orders the strict control of the use of the least dangerous chemicals for industrial, medical, research, agricultural, pharmaceutical and defense purposes.

This is where I take a step back and question this issue. Where does Sambal stand within this legislation.?



If you are like me, willing to try anything, but “once bitten, twice shy” you may be an individual who considers Sambal to be at the same threat level to my continued existence as Nuclear Toxins and Cyanide.

I have seen what Sambal can do, I have witnessed the depravity that follows in its wake, it is an evil corruptor of youth, creates addicts and ultimately can cause physical pain.

Put plainly, it burns at both ends.



This is no industry which hides in the Bolivian Jungle, the dealers openly market their deadly wares on the cities streets, and the police, as usual they turn a blind eye (in reality they are probably using the stuff themselves.



Everyday, millions of Indonesians consume huge quantities of this poison, not caring a whit about the side effects and consequences. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the attitudes and general behaviour of the population. As shown above, the side effects of Sambal use can create many strange "dishes"

I for one will avoid this menace, take my advice!

Just Say No!

As an aside while researching this article, Google Image Search produced many images like this.



Given the choice between the differing "Sambals" I know which one I would opt for!
