  • In Kentucky 978 people died from prescription drug overdose in 2009.   The average age drug addicts in Kentucky start using is 11.
  • Sarah Shay and Savannah Kissick were school friends in Morehead, both addicted to an array of perfectly legal drugs. Sarah died in 2006, at the age of 19. Savannah followed three years later, aged 22. Both victims of an epidemic of prescription pill abuse sweeping parts of America. When their mothers reel off the names together, they make them sound like weapons. "Xanax. Klonopin. Oxycodone. Hydrocodone." Earlier this year, the White House described the epidemic as the country’s fastest growing drug problem, accounting for more accidental overdoses than the combined total from heroin and crack cocaine in the 1970s and 80s.
  • The pill crisis, which some are calling pharmageddon, is only now receiving national attention.

  • There was Baghdad in the aftermath of the US invasion – a frenzy of arson and looting that emptied libraries and museums. The factories got hit too. In 2004 I visited one that used to make refrigerators. Its workers had stripped it of everything valuable, then torched it so thoroughly that the warehouse was a sculpture of buckled sheet metal.Back then the people on cable news thought looting was highly political. They said this is what happens when a regime has no legitimacy in the eyes of the people. After watching for so long as Saddam Hussein and his sons helped themselves to whatever and whomever they wanted, many regular Iraqis felt they had earned the right to take a few things for themselves. But London isn't Baghdad, and the British prime minister, David Cameron, is hardly Saddam, so surely there is nothing to learn there.

  • Argentina's mass looting was called el saqueo – the sacking. That was politically significant because it was the very same word used to describe what that country's elites had done by selling off the country's national assets in flagrantly corrupt privatisation deals, hiding their money offshore, then passing on the bill to the people with a brutal austerity package.

  • They are just about lawless kids taking advantage of a situation to take what isn't theirs. And British society, Cameron tells us, abhors that kind of behaviour.This is said in all seriousness. As if the massive bank bailouts never happened, followed by the defiant record bonuses. Followed by the emergency G8 and G20 meetings, when the leaders decided, collectively, not to do anything to punish the bankers for any of this, nor to do anything serious to prevent a similar crisis from happening again. Instead they would all go home to their respective countries and force sacrifices on the most vulnerable. They would do this by firing public sector workers, scapegoating teachers, closing libraries, upping tuition fees, rolling back union contracts, creating rush privatisations of public assets and decreasing pensions – mix the cocktail for where you live. And who is on television lecturing about the need to give up these "entitlements"? The bankers and hedge-fund managers, of course.
  • This is what Cameron got wrong: you can't cut police budgets at the same time as you cut everything else. Because when you rob people of what little they have, in order to protect the interests of those who have more than anyone deserves, you should expect resistance – whether organised protests or spontaneous looting. And that's not politics. It's physics.

  • Banks now have to be able to show they would still have capital worth 5 per cent of their assets even if a series of disasters occurred. Crucially, the banks have also been forced to provide more detail on how much they have lent 30 European countries, amid fears the eurozone crisis could prompt another disaster in the financial sector were a government to default on its debts.

  • The costs of the crisis have been transferred onto the shoulders of people who had nothing to do with the financial orgy of 2001-7
  • Working people have been called upon to shoulder the burden of public debt, but have they been properly informed about its composition, its terms, and its sources?
  • Is debt in both countries ethically and morally sustainable if servicing it implies the destruction of normal social life?

  • To find answers, countries should form audit commissions that will be independent of political parties but also of parliament and other mechanisms of the state.
