Amen to that, brother. And the more strenously those doing the forbidding
insist that the prohibition is justified the less seriously people take
them. Actually I take them very seriously, i.e. as serious threats to
individual autonomy and as serious obstacles to intelligent discourse and
informed decission making. War on drugs, anyone?
