Neil thanks for the rant, was an awesome read!
Legitimate question but it cant be possible to address without addressing the other 'whys'.
Why is online poker illegal but its legal to play Lotto? Why do the upper echelon of criminals who reside in the financial sector somehow receive 'get out of jail free cards' and or extremely limited sentences for stealing hundreds of millions? Why is the most utilized plant in the history of mankind, Cannabis, illegal for personal/medicinal consumption? Why is heroin literally FLOODING the streets since the Afghanistan occupation? Why are pharmaceuticals marketed directly to patients? Why does the new mainstream popular music ALL SOUND THE FCKING SAME? Why do factories get shut down even when we still have access to the resources and the means of production(machinery etc.) Why Why Why... We cant address a single one of these issues without a complete system overhaul because they are all integrated and systemic. We need a fucking revolution.............
