Idiotically, we still search for a Mr Big lurking at the centre of the drugs trade like a spider in a web. Actually it is millions of Mr Smalls, western drug *users* who finance the cartels, the gangs and the murders by selfishly buying illegal drugs. https://t.co/afdOrbfPFd — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks .@calabrianvice Douay-Rheims is good. The 1611 translators included the Apocrypha, but it started to be left out in the C19th. Nobody's sure why. Absurdly, the much-loved Ecclesiasticus passage 'Let us now praise famous men' much-quoted, is not in most C20th KJVs. — PolitiTweet.org
