Lunacy In Chicago

When individual decision-making is no longer left up to individuals, and voluntary exchange between individuals in a free market becomes conspiracy, Orwellian nonsense like this results.

The same politicos who think mandating gun-free school zones will protect children from violent crime are the ones who think banning little plastic baggies will prevent the distribution and sale of illicit drugs. All we need is more prohibition, regulation, and government intervention and everything will be like mother's milk. That's always the solution. And what sort of problem are we even talking about here that requires such draconian solutions? That's right. The non-crime of acquiring drugs for one's own personal use, a practice that harms no one but potentially the user himself. And keep in mind we're talking about storage devices so small they could only be for personal use. This proposition isn't even aimed at the much larger issue of trafficking, not that that would be a more sensible endeavor. Thank heaven a few city councilmen had the sense to oppose this, otherwise how will clothiers safely store their beads?
