Vaccinated Against Vices?

Smoke Me A Kipper writes "The Independent is reporting that the latest UK government sponsored quango, charged with looking at the problems of drug abuse, is to recommend a national anti-addiction 'vaccination' scheme. Apparantly, trials are already in progress. No details as to whether it would be mandatory. Personally I find such an idea utterly shocking - what happens when you find yourself injured in later life and morphine based painkillers no longer work? I wouldn't be surprised to find existing phamaceutical companies excited by this, having to replace cheap drugs with something new, which they can patent and control."

Wow, it really works:

Guess Microsoft was pretty lazy in using BSD code.

No. You're wrong. It's clearly Dungeons and Dragons which makes people think they can fly, like that poor kid in Austin in the eighties that jumped out of the hotel window because his D&D character could fly. We should immunize children against D&D. Either that, or we should realize that life isn't, shouldn't be, and cannot be made completely safe. Then, perhaps we'd turn our attention to something that actually mattered. Okay, probably not.
