It killed John Belushi .. uppers and downers at the same time are never a good idea .. speed balls kill.
no coke and alcohol for some people is a horrible combo.

Jack White was certainly an interesting man - thanks for that.Given the current use and misuse of the term Anarchist, this might be of interest.
A Wee Black Book of Belfast Anarchism(1867-1973).
by Máirtín Ó Catháin
This booklet concentrates on the lives of five individuals, only two of whom have achieved any measure of ‘fame’ on the island of Ireland: Captain
Jack White and John McGuffin. Of some interest, is the fact that three of the five are from Ulster Protestant backgrounds and in some cases, from fairly staunch loyalist backgrounds, a heritage that appears no less than the Irish Catholic and republican traditions and possibly more so, to have engendered a libertarian spirit of revolt and the challenging of orthodoxies and privilege that gave birth to anarchist ideas. It is also a matter of some pride to the author that one of the five was a Scot who travelled to Ulster and brought his anarchism with him, and who may have been the first to publicly preach its word in Belfast. Unfortunately, none of the individuals recorded here are women, though some reference will be made to Agnes Henry in the text and hopefully in the fullness of time, a number of Belfast women activists will emerge from ongoing research.

A lingering legacy of colonialism. Vid at link.
Legacy of Kenyan clan 'branded evil' by colonialists
During the first half of the 20th Century, the British Empire ruled a big part of Africa. But little has been said how the empire conquered such a vast land. The BBC’s Anne Soy travelled to her birthplace in the Great Rift Valley to meet members of a clan in her Kalenjin ethnic community. The Talai were punished for opposing British settlement in the Rift Valley more than a century ago. They remain ostracised and impoverished even now because of colonial propaganda - a lesser known legacy of colonialism.

I remember my Grandad telling me about his experiences with V1 rockets. He'd hear this loud droning for a long time before it would suddenly cut out. Apparently, that would be the point when everybody ducked for cover. They couldn't see it, but they could hear it.

Life in the Carribean for White people often meant death from tropical diseases.
Thats the impression I get from my very limited reading. It might have been profitable but it was very risky.
What about the convicts, bonded servants and people who didnt exactly want to see the new world but ended up there anyway?
