More baffling info from the newsdesks. In case the junkies and addicts of this world were not up to scratch on the latest Drug Price Index, MaltaToday gallantly informed its readers that the street price of cocaine has gone down. To be honest I’d be worried if they knew of any other price than the street price. I mean what’s left? The coke trafficker’s price? How would you know that? Also, given that the price for cannabis (that soothing drug) is going up does that say something about drug taking habits during an economic downturn? Do the normal rules of supply and demand apply in these cases? (looks like this price drop is caused by a hike in supplies). Can we link the type of drug and its current price (and availability) to the mood of the public? I’m assuming that different segments of society have preference for different drugs (this is not false naivety – I am absolutely terrified of drugs and firmly believe that any drug taking on my part will lead to instant paralysis followed by death).
So. After the Happiness Index we should really start thinking about the Coke index. Spliffin’.

malta is the only country in the world having no problems be they economic, health, drugs, education, air quality, poverty, traffic, noise you name it, no problem…I know it because every day i follow the news, not the biased one/net version but the other true version/s.
malta has no problems because we do not have divorce. we pray (soon we may be holding vigils) so that the rest of the world may follow our example.

Didn’t get your point on MT’s article on the price of coke – if you had a point, that is.
Regarding the Happiness index.I’m assuming you are referring to Cameron’s idea to measure ‘well-being’ (not happiness). I personally think it is a good idea to start seeing beyond the GDP.
Seems like it will be a white Christmas this year in Malta….
