Nothing new here folks. -- Governments have been prohibiting 'evil objects' since biblical times, -- they then use the decree as an excuse to search & seize any asset even remotely connected to the 'contraband'..

Rational men see it as a forerunner to revolution.
Powerful arguments against 'majority rule' and a power to prohibit.
