North Korea would welcome you with open arms. Perhaps you should move to a country that loves controlling their citizens.

So I take it you are in faviour of abolishing the FDA because they stick their nose in private citizen's lives all the time. Just think of all the money Americans would save on booze and medication.

We've already extablished there are harmful things in our society that regardless of their harm society wants. Why add another one to the list? The argument seems to be that it is unstoppable but, I disagree. Government just need to change strategy.
