*That's an easy one, Kadego thought to himself... or did he actually say it out loud? He wasn't sure anymore...*
Huh, that's an easy one... Cardamine was never forced on me. And I never felt like taking it either.
Being born to a mother who also wasn't addicted to it... and my father being a typical Rheinlander, who never took anything stronger than aspirine for his headache... no, it's simply not in my blood.
I did, however, trade the stuff a bunch. In my old Liberty days, back at Rochester - just behind Planet Manhattan...!
You know, there is a saying "where there's smoke, there's fire"? It's also true for economics - demand and supply. Whatever the people demand, somebody's gonna crop up and supply that demand (and make some profit while at it). So I just said to myself "hmmm, if I don't do it, then somebody else will". And whoever buys that stuff is addicted to it anyways, for the rest of their life. You are practically 'keeping them alive' at this point, which should only be considered an act of service.
That's the way I see it, when I think about it.
*A strange thought crossed Kadego's mind... what if all of this conversation was happening only in his head? What if all of this was just a dream... He wasn't sure anymore.*
