Here is the correct quote from Winston Churchill: "If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain."
Also, conservatism in Churchill's era is absolutely NOT what conservatism is now.

Deep cut! I first heard of and saw that show in college. It's great!

You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60's TV!

Alcohol

  • physically addictive
  • one of the only substances to have fatal withdrawal
  • implicated in numerous deaths (due to intoxication)
  • harms pregnancy
  • can cause heart issues, neurological issues, liver damage, etc.
  • not a scheduled DEA substance

Marijuana

  • none of the above (effects on pregnancy can include low birth weight and preterm labor - evidence is mixed. Certainly nothing close to the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome).
  • currently a schedule 1 substance

It should be descheduled completely.

Edit: updated pregnancy info

There were many senior leaders on the flight: Prigozhin, Utkin (early founder, commander), Chekalov (economic & security leader), Makaryan, Propustin, Totmin, Matuseev (all various commanders). While this seems super dumb to have all these folks on the same flight at the same time, apparently they were. With this much senior leadership now suddenly gone, the Wagner group may be struggling to get their own house in order before they can take organizational action.
