I can understand Californians who like foie gras or who dislike govt. interference in what they can and can't eat to be upset by this.

But why would anyone else give a toss?

Because they made money off selling foie gras to Californians.
Foie gras like a drug.... here comes black market. :)

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

I guess so though I'd guess a lot of people who eat it - do so in restaurants...so a black market would really only work for people who serve it at home.

Foie gras speakeasies.

First they come for the 32 oz sodas, then they come for the foie gras, and before you know it you can't find ice cream sundays with bacon toppings anymore.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

To partake in food and booze and other things currently outlawed by your local jurisdiction like all snobby people do.

Good.  The fact it makes you all upset is a nice bonus. :)

Agreed. :hug:

Amen.  Good for the geese.  You sick fuckers.  Go eat something else that gives you Mono-esque vanity boners.
