Awesome, so what do we do when a trademark becomes generic and people ask for a product but get another product instead (ask for a coke, get a pepsi). Do we get to sue every resturant who does this for trade fraud? Or just the resturants we don't like?
Very silly logical fallacy called the slippery slope. You ignore that if there became a viable reason to send humans up there, we still would. Sending them up there to try and force us to continue sending them up there is silly.
Its no different, you can do the same thing with most laptops. Its insanely easy to bypass that sort of thing with a guide downloaded off the net. Or printed out by other students if net access really is that restricted.
Hypocrisy? Its job security! They'd lose their jobs if they just came out and said "Make more extinct species for us to study. Instead they just use up all the energy they can to force the point!
On a more serious note, your arguments are incorrect because you assume too much about ecologists in general and by doing so you create a straw man. You also seem to assume that drilling in ANWR will somehow fix anything and is somehow the best answer for supplying energy.
I still don't understand what the hell you're getting at here. I don't even consider the word 3rd world country to be valid since the collapse of the Soviet Union. I swear to god you just seem to be a random text generator trolling slashdot.
So let me be brief: What the hell are you trying to say that has any relation to the story, whatsoever.
I'm just in the camp that going to mars is a silly damn idea at the moment, and as much a waste of money as the ISS. Observatories and satellites that give us data to work with is so much more beneficial. I'm definitely with Bob Park on this one.
All that I've read points to Franklin using Laudanum for pain management, specifically a kidney stone. The reason I brought it up, however, is to point out how irrelevant it is and how damaging using it can be to your argument. There is no need to bring up specters of racism, outdated cultural mores, or even supposed actions of historical figures.
The hard evidence of all the problems of our current prohibition system is easy to see. Talk straight about the problems. If you do that, you will have an argument people will listen to. Talk about things that aren't on topic, and perhaps even wrong, and you turn off anyone not completely supporting you.
We weren't alive when prohibition of opiates was enacted. While pointing to generalities from those times (such as the general lack of gangs pushing drugs) might help in certain situations, many times it will be seen as transparent rhetoric. Comparing countries with different drug laws or pointing to the similarities between the consequences of alcohol prohibition and the prohibition of other drugs does work.
Just make sure you don't argue yourself into obscurity, with those who read what you write thinking "Oh shit, another druggie rant."
I'm sorry, but heroin is not on the same level as oral opium or even smoking opium and to make the comparison is being disingenuous.
And the statement that Benjamin Franklin was a recreational opium user seems to be unfounded, as I could not find anything on the internet stating such.
Regarding the subject, this is what I found: Franklin using opium to manage pain "I am so interrupted by extreme pain, which obliges me to have recourse to opium, that between the effects of both, I have but little time in which I can write anything"
The point of the matter is, I think our drug prohibition system is horribly broken in many extreme ways down to the core. But making disingenuous arguments isn't going to get it fixed.
And he goes on to blur the lines between oral consumption of opium, smoking of opium, and injection of opium. The GP also ignores a particular substance developed in 1874.
