"Yeah. That's why the US is awash in, oh, anthrax. Possession and sale of it is prohibited, so obviously there is now a huge black market in it, and laboratories on every block madly churning it out ..."

I'll say. Wasn't someone mailing it all over the place a while back? I don't know if I'd call it a huge black market. I doubt demand for anthrax is particularly high.


"How 'bout those baby walkers that have been prohibited?

It's been over a year now, in the US. Are the streets awash with them yet?"

I didn't realize they had criminalized selling baby walkers without a license. Those people on ebay better watch out.

"I just can't think of who would actually continue to assert that there is a war on drugs being prosecuted by the US govt ... or why anyone who didn't think it would say it ...

Perhaps I should make myself plainer, eh? I certainly see a war on certain classes of drug users. Just no war on drugs. Get it?"

Oh, I get it. Call it what you like War on Drugs War on Some Drugs War on Some Drug Users War on Certain Classes of Drug Users. It's all the same to me and the prohibition analogy still holds quite well.
