    Hamilton is a last name. I won’t doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

      The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton Morris. I don’t know if Morris is a first name, but I really like the dude. He did a bunch of documentaries about drugs for VICE. Big tangent incoming.

      Those documentaries are really good. He did one about Project Coast, an awful program started by the apartheid government in South Africa (before Mandela became president). It’s the reason why the country still has such a high usage of methaqualone (AKA qualuudes, called Mandrax or “Buttons” colloquially) compared to the rest of the world.

      Project Coast did so many much fucking lingering damage. Poisoned baby milk, nerve agents, you name it.

      It was engineered by this piece of shit who earned the nickname “Dr. Death”, Wouter Basson. Cunt got away with it. He’s somehow still a practicing cardiologist in Cape Town. Infuriating.

      Main point: those documentaries are worth a watch. Not an ad. Pirate it if you want.

      Also, if anyone happens to be near Dr Death’s practice, just fucking exorcise that demon.
