"Prohibition Returns!" Reason Magazine

Post by Frankennietzsche »

In November's issue of Reason magazine the cover article is on the return of prohobition by David Harsayani a colmnist from the Denver Post.

The article is adapted from his book Nanny State: How Food Fascists, Teatotalling Good-Doers, Priggish Moralists, ahd Other Boneheaded Bureaucrats Are Turning America Into a Nation of Children.

I subcribe to "Reason" and I thought it was a well-written article. For those of us who have been and do pay close attention to those things, there's not much new information. But it's presented quite well.

Yeah, I'm reading it right now. It's not like something from our patron magazine, but it is interesting.

Well, it's missing the vehement bile and fury.

That's what I love most about MDM, they don't take shit from no one.

Does this "Reason" magazine have a presence on the internet? I'd like to read this article, even if it means ordering a back-issue.

I checked their site, but like most magazines, they have the stuff from a past month or so on it (to make you buy the mag.)

http://www.reason.com/

If you can wait, it'll be posted on it in a month or so, or tey a library.

I could send you some of my back-issues. I keep a couple just because I really like a few of the articles, but many are just kind of hanging out.

By degrees, they support MDM. They link to "to the people" which has MDM listed in its favorite sites. It's how I found out about this place.

I was a subscriber for a couple years awhile ago. Smart folks over there. They'll use facts, science, and logic to shake up what was thought to be common sense in America in a way that's entertaining to read. It's like if John Stossel had a magazine.
