What they have done is in violation of the Federal Administrative law rule making procedure (i.e. public notice and comment period) created a set of pseudo laws and regulations that eliminate any hint of due process, justice, or fair play upon which Anglo-American law is based and is guaranteed by the Constitution. They engage in verbal sleight of hand by screaming rape and then redefining it while acting as if it were the act defined in criminal law. It is not. This is all based upon the philosophy of radical Marxist lesbian feminists like Andrea Dworkin and Catherine (all heterosexual intercourse is rape) McKenna. Accusation is sufficient proof of guilt because this is really about anti-heterosexual male hatred and the feeling that sex is somehow nauseating. Being a victim is important because then you can claim the injuries of all victims as giving you the right not to need to verify your statements such as “women never lie about rape” L:ike how could anyone actually know that short of being omniscient and divine. Further as a victim, anyone who disagrees with you is engaging in a hate crime.

Excellent article. Very well written and supported with facts.

"College campuses, like the rest of American society today, are struggling to contain the wreckage of the sexual revolution."

Coming up on 50 years old, a gift, by the way, of the New Left, along with its partner in crime drug culture.

Why does this modern shitferbrains society, never ever ever, consider a return to alcohol prohibition?

Is that the dumbest reason you can come up with?

So how is the war on drugs working?

Its creating millions of jobs for people that have negative value to the economy, while making medicinal (drugs) 10x more expensive

At the root of every crime is usually alcohol

Are you being serious or is this a parody of a lunatic?

---------

For suggesting alcohol prohibition? Serious as a liver failure.

Odd that a marijuana prohibitionist such as yourself holds this view.

Alcohol is a toxin, high atop the Harm chart. Very addictive , no medicinal property, and very deadly

Ah, that's the dark secret of "Rape Culture". Take away incidents involving alcohol, and there is nothing to discuss. When you suggest this, you get "Don't tell me if I can drink!"

At the root of every crime is usually alcohol money.

Fixed that for ya.

Claiming that prohibition would make alcohol cheaper, is a lie

Alcohol is already very cheap, prohibition would certainly make it much more expensive. Your 3$ wine would likely still cost $3. But you have to add in the embedded costs of getting caught.

Fines
Court costs
Lawyer fee
Jail time
Lost wages
Lower wages as result of criminal record

The year is 2015, not 1922.

Things are much, much different.

But go ahead and try to explain how, and why, alcohol prohibition today, would result in cheaper booze AND more drunks

Using one crappy half hearted instance from a hundred years ago, is hardly iron clad evidence of absolute proof.

Im saying that the costs on society for allowing legal alcohol consumption are so great, maybe its time we reconsider

The very idea of prohibiting something that a minority of the population has a problem with is incredibly stupid.

-------------

By that logic, we should go back to open carry so everyone is always packing heat

And you guys sure make one hell of a strong case for ending the war on drugs. Odd that y'all put it so far back your list of things of political importance

Anyone caught with alcohol, will have all their assets seized by the state

Problems solved

No. You clearly do not understand the reasoning.

Alcohol and drug addiction are medical problems. The desire to murder your neighbor is not.

Hell, if arming all of society was the solution to violence, then why stop at guns. Why not let people have biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons as well? Why not RPGs, tanks, and ICBMs as well?

I hate to break this to you but the Second Amendment is about arms, not guns. As such, it clearly is not applied in our society today and has effectively been repealed. Arms are a lot more general than guns.

Prohibition

Kind of got off-subject as usual. However, as ludicrous as prohibition seems today, it's not something that happened all of a sudden in 1919 or 1920. It was actually the culmination of the Temperance Movement that had started nearly 100 years earlier in about 1820. All kinds of vices were playing havoc with early 19th century America and throughout the century various progressive groups tried one thing and then another to rein in the spreading chaos (it also occurred in the UK, but they had the good sense not to try prohibition as we did). What makes it so ridiculous is that alcohol consumption has been an integral part of society for literally thousands of years going back to what we call Biblical times, virtually as ubiquitous as drinking water. Just as any other substance, it can be taken in too great a quanity. That's what makes the anaology with drug use mistaken--just like the sexual revolution, hard drugs have been part of our culture barely half a century, not a several millenium practice. Substances such as cocaine, opium and morphine, even arsenic, were available over the counter up through the latter part of the 19th century until it was determined they were of such toxic properties they needed to be made available only through prescritpion use if at all. The fact that Prohibition coincided with the Roaring 20's made it just another of the fads that fed tin-pan alley and resulted in a steady stream of wonderful tunes from start to finish--at the beginning was "It's the Smart Little Feller that Stocked Up His Cellar that's Getting All the Beautiful Girls":

Pretty much all of history fits that description. 9/11 was a perfect example. Congress spent more time debating what to call the USA Patriot Act than on the content itself. The bill was basically written years before and waiting for a tragedy to happen. Most initiatives are like that.
