    What's it like being so willfully ignorant? Any headaches, nausea, diarrhea?

    Prohibition killed hundreds, if not thousands of them.

    That explains why I have a "Tsimane Altruism Fee" on my latest water bill.

    You assume the average Slashdotter (in 2013) understands that. On Slashdot 2003, this was expected.

    Somebody explain to me how the fact that one company is failing somehow tells us that government should run everything?

    Wrong. They will not build any more coal power plants IN THREE HIGH-SMOG regions. They are also implementing cap-and-trade, which probably works well when you're already fascist.

    Unfortunately, the american lifestyle is a model that most Chinese dream of right now.

    It's a shame they don't dream of human rights and a democratic form of government.

    German greens might allow Hamburg to flood just to make a political point

    Wow... don't you prosecute corrupt politicians there? Because doing something like that would be treason if it were enemy troops rather than the river threatening the city.

    Next time I get one of these scams, I plan to type the scammer's words into the Eliza program and respond with what it says. Maybe I can find a copy of the Dr. SBAITSO that came with Sound Blaster cards and run that in a DOS box to make it easier. I could just tell him I lost my larynx to cancer.

    I know that the soda ban was ruled unconstitutional. It should never have been passed. The point is that they even tried.

    You still haven't answered my argument. Let me spell it out for you. I have a business on my private property. You are not compelled to patronize it. There is a potentially hazardous condition inside, caused by tobacco use, which you can avoid by not entering at your option. Why is the government allowed to tell me I can't let people use this legal substance, because it might harm someone who doesn't have to patronize me? Shouldn't the MOST restrictive action be to require a sign warning that smoke is present (as if everyone doesn't already know that it's unhealthy and it's obvious when it's present)?

    Does it really matter if they park their cars at home? It's not for personal use. It doesn't even indicate they're home when it's in the driveway.
