Why Opposing Slavery And Supporting Drug Criminalization Is Both Morally & Logically Mutually Exclusive

Submitted by Pete on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 09:23.
After a fair bit of reflection I've developed a new argument that forms the basis of my moral 'thinking', a single logically sound (if not, leave a comment so I can improve upon it) argument that is overwhelmingly simple yet carries far reaching conclusions. Think of this as a teaser, a first post to test the logic as I refine the reasoning.

So lets get started, and think about a topic that most people think is inherently evil, a concept that civilized society has long considered morally unjustifiable.

Those that know me know this blog has been a bit of an experiment, an often neglected place for me to dump whatever caught my attention at the time.

It's given me a chance to learn drupal, the content management software that runs this blog, and an excellent piece of software for building a complete online businesses. It's been a great way of learning the framework to a standard package my business will be offering in the future; and ensuring that I understand how it works before outsourcing the work.

I came across a post about Moral Hazard by Jörg Guido Hülsmann from the Ludwig von Mises Institute and I highly recommend reading it whether your interested in economics or not.

Anyone with an elementary knowledge of basic economics understands that there's a substitution effect when one good rises in price comparatively to a similar good, hell, its common sense really.

George Carlin; My New Politically Incorrect Comedic Super Hero

Submitted by Pete on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 17:07.

Theres something striking about a good comedian, the way they can 'joke' with concepts too politically incorrect for the media to touch, the way they can make you laugh and the way they can make you think.
