42. Actually, the reason for that is that very few people live in their own amusement park

And have had so much plastic surgery that their nose is missing.

Maybe the hospital-grade anaesthetics were the only thing that made that dude's existence tolerable, at that point. I dont know. Maybe you could have fixed everything that was wrong with him with a 12 step meeting or a good jargon-filled lecture or two.

Above my pay grade, I tell you what.

What I do know is, prohibition doesnt work. It's rich that you accuse me of "red herrings" when bringing up a point of historical fact here- and the month long meltdown some folks had over the SI swimsuit issue is a matter of record; maybe you missed the threads, but I have trouble believing that- and then accuse me of being anti social security, which is a position I've never come close to espousing.

In fact, I've never heard anyone here argue for eliminating social security. I *have* heard people -here, mind you- say that "blasphemy" isnt protected by the First Amendment, and neither are pictures of consenting adults having sex.



A strong commitment to individual, personal freedom with regards to what one chooses to do with their own body and nervous system is only incompatible with support for a solid social safety net in the minds of people who dont want to argue the issues as they actually stand, instead preferring to conconct elaborate straw armies and artificial ideological turf lines which bear no resemblance to reality.

I'm sure you know people like that.
