Of course I can believe it.Americans are still puritans compared with the rest of the world.

That shit was in the constitution!
5/31/2009 3:08:25 PM
actually I believe it was an amendment (to OP)I've always wondered why alcohol prohibition required constitutional treatment, while other substances seem to be fine with a bullshit loophole. The introductory paragraph of CSA goes something like, "Substance trade frequently occurs across state lines, and we have the power to regulate that. We can't determine if something was manufactured, distributed, or acquired in a manner that would empower us, so we assume authority there anyway."[Edited on May 31, 2009 at 3:10 PM. Reason : .]

that's what you get for letting religion dictate what is and what is not legal.

personally i've never understood how insurance is different than "ponzi" schemes
5/31/2009 4:17:41 PM
I find insurance to be exactly as described.
5/31/2009 4:20:15 PM
Ponzi schemes are portrayed as investments from which you are guaranteed a minimum return. This return is accomplished by collecting money from new investors and redistributing it to the current investors.Insurance makes no claim of paying out unless you need it. You're essentially paying someone to take ownership of your risks.

How this turned into an attack on insurance I do not know, but I feel very lucky to have health insurance and I hope to never have to use it.
5/31/2009 4:31:33 PM
^ it's not an attack on insurance. it's an attack on social security and violation of the Constitution in general.^^ yeah, insurance is like a warranty. completely different from a ponzi scheme (to include social security).
