I'm afraid after the last episode they might take Omar out!Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1160581155209116842006-10-11T10:39:00.000-05:002006-10-11T10:39:00.000-05:00I've been hooked since day one.

I'd think it would be a very interesting phenomenon if he were to start talking legalization or another scenario such as "Hamsterdam", much to the dismay of his constituents. This would be such a great tie in with last year and also do a great service towards speaking to the issues of addressing a feasible drug policy. <BR/><BR/>I can see Marlowe going down, but don't have a clue as to how it's going to happen. He kind of came up quick doesn't have a lot of soldiers so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. <BR/><BR/>I have to say that my favorite character is Omar. He is a thug that doesn't play by the thugs rules and somehow that makes him larger than all of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
