Three Pillars of Leftdom

Have you worked in the plutonium market?

What are you, a cop?

Brain ripped off the Libyans.

I'm skeptical of some of the facts concerning Prohibition.  Like that it created the mob.  I was under the impression that the mob existed before Prohibition and existed after it.

Many things exist after being created.

But few things exist before.

[Razgovory]

I had no idea that poisoning people was a victimless crime.

Nowt poisonous about booze. In moderation it's even good for you

The poison is in the dose, however it is still fairly poisonous.  Lots of people die of alcohol poisoning every year.

The poison's always in the dose - with the exception of smoking.

Lots of people die from skin cancer, or health problems from obesity too.

Very few people drop dead by walking outside from "sun poisoning" or simply eating to much in an afternoon.  Many people die from drinking to much in a night.  Food and sun by themselves are not poisonous.  Alcohol actually is.  It is poisonous even in small amounts.  The problem is that people find the detrimental effects of the poison pleasurable.  That's were cognitive dissonance kicks in and you get things like "Lots of people die of skin cancer".

[Sheilbh]

Okay, but I don't think many people drop dead from drinking too much on a night out of nowhere. Like skin cancer from sun bathing with no cream or obesity caused deaths from over-indulgence or a too rich diet it builds up to that level. Personally if you sun bathe regularly and you're not using any protection that is just dangerous and stupid. Stuff like fried butter, or deep-fried mars bars however delicious are far, far more a poison as a nice glass of muscadet.

It isn't poisonous in even small amounts. Look at all the stuff about how wine especially, in moderation, is good for you.

With the exception of smoking it's just another case of moderation in all things.

Gangs existed, and they did stuff, but my understanding is that the hundreds of billions of 2014 dollars' worth of revenues that Prohibition gave them created well-heeled, well-organized crime.

Now, prohibition can work, but not without being matched to an effective police state.

Prohibition would only work with a foreign police force.  No cop wants to arrest his partner's mother for a victimless crime, let alone his own mother.  That's why there prohibition only works in places like Saudi Arabia, where the government can hire desert Bedouin and other fanatics as their cops.

I had no idea that poisoning people was a victimless crime.

So, Duque gets called out for making stupid statements, but Raz doesn't for that?

A lot of people are too wise/chicken to argue with Raz.

So, I am just having a glass of chardonnay right now. Earlier I had a steak. Earlier still I practiced sodomy. And on top of this, I worked through Sunday on a highly stressful job.

I guess I should just be locked up.
