And do yourself a favor and see if you can go one libertarian thread without bringing up Prohibition. Prohibition took place 70 years ago, and is no longer a useful tool in for analysing modern society or law enforcement techniques.

I can see why you'd prefer not discussing alcohol prohibition because it was an irrefutable failure and is the current model for the failed WoD.

As far a s focus, you brought up SAMs without explaining why and then tried to make a case that 'legalizing' them would lower the price. I don't think that you can substantiate that but I'll let you try. There isn't common man market for them just as there isn't a common man market for H-2's because most people can't lay out the cash for them.

But your premise is correct, legalizing *could* make them more affordable, just as legalizing pot would lower the price, remove the risk remove the huge artificial profits, remove the violence, remove the corruption, etc. Legalizing pot, just as alcohol was legalized 70 years ago, would remove much of the crime involved in the manufacture and distirbution of it.

And if some minor html is too tough for you, you should realize that if you just type without any html you will get a correct posting. But if a couple tags is too much then you are just too lazy to be here.

It has nothing to do with laziness. I am merely responding to the common pattern of these threads. Which is that a half-dozen hazy-brained drugs addicts suddenly appear and begin making the same points. Talk about laziness! What is it with you people and your ability to change bong water or read through an entire thread before you post?

As it stands, it is enough for me that you people nicely demonstrated the insane luck behind libertarianism.
