An article for free thinkers
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 2:07PM Aside from Davis McWilliams, there is rarely a brilliant article in the Sunday Independent, Ireland's largest selling newspaper.
However, this week (Jan 29th, 2012), there is a cracker from journalist Christopher Jackson entitled, "The futility of running a war against vices".
Comments such as "The argument of this Government, and the one that preceded it, seems to be predicated on the wholly fatuous assumption that the general public are saddled by such crippling naivety that they can barely comprehend the severe ramifications of drinking to excess. The same assumption seems to hold true when it comes to discussion of all other forms of vice: drugs, tobacco, sex, etc" are dotted throughout the piece. Free thinking smokers will love this one. If you (ahem), enjoy the drink as well, it will give you pause for thought!

I missed that article. Good catch. Nice to see someone actually stand up and say. Hang on! This crap doesn't work!
