If I can ask, why is it that the (Western, Allied) WWII veterans did not, as a general rule, suffer from these things?
That's a bizarre thing to say. Why on earth would you say that?
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come
The wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset
Hmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run
Like the moment when your brakes lock
And you slide toward the big truck
And stretch the frozen moments with your fear
And you’ll never hear their voices
And you’ll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore
And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend
Finally I understand
The feelings of the few
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end
- Roger Waters
The meth making in Massachusetts won't stop, unless MIT and Harvard etc. get shut down, there are way too many people around, including those still in college, who've studied chemistry and see it as a challenge, or a source of income, or something to do out of curiosity.
The average community college organic chemistry course will teach anyone who is motivated and in the top 20%ile of scientific ability to synthesize methamphetamines, if they are so inclined and willing to take the obvious legal and hazmat risks. Anyone with abilities in the top 5% will learn enough to make really clean stuff. In other words, there will never be a shortage of master chefs, and they will always be able to find prep cooks.
Of course, the MIT lecture notes are freely available:

I am NOT advocating that ANYONE put their college chemistry to illegal or unethical uses. I am pointing out that there are millions of people in the US who already have the requisite knowledge.
One strong point in favor of Kos: the desire to do unpleasant things to Nader is extraordinarily powerful there.
Y'all don't understand. There were shoes to buy.
I'd parked my camel a couple of miles back for this stoll to the rail crossing. It was less than clear how I'd been roped into this job. In fact I remembered little from the night before. But here I was at the first light of daybreak breaking over the dunes and the windblown sand ten thousand hypodermics punching pinprick holes in my face. The Turk was stupid and he would pay, again and again in a hundred bleak little tragedies. I dropped the detonator.
Urgh. The system snipped nearly nearly my whole post.
