Guilty of crossing state lines to sell an unsafe product where it's illegal?

I know you think highly-enriched uranium should be sold in grocery stores, and we'll never agree on that, but I just want to make it clear that this isn't a perfectly innocent local farmer sharing his spoils with well-informed neighbors.

So he did something you view as wrong because he sold something to someone who wanted to consume it? Further, the crime was not selling it, but selling it because he crossed some arbitrary line drawn by government on a map? And yes unsafe like most of the things in the world it could potentially cause harm.

I do oppose this thread on the grounds that I want to see how long #2 could go. Not sure what the longest thread in the site's history is but I was hoping that if Libertarian #2 wasn't that it would, one day, be.

Also Gamemako, your comment on selling uranium in grocery stores is ridiculous. It is an asinine assumption that the only thing preventing this from happening is government regulation. I saw Anthony Bourdain eat some cheese made with raw milk, on tv, a few weeks back. Better get him. He might have made a conscience decision to intake something that could, potentially maybe, harm his health a bit!

Yeah for reals, gotta wait another year and 200+ pages now.

USURPER!
Besides, I like having choice.
Rival libertarian thread. Maybe 2 or 3. Let the masses of PA decide which is best.

God damn, it was my goal to start the third one for great irony. Although I was expecting it to be closed like the SR...shoulda known you guys would self regulate it and not let the man take control LOL

Even had a name: Libertarian Thread 3: You're like a Marxist society, no class.

Cool

^ We do? I think we have a pretty good sense of humor.The government is probably telling you otherwise.

My poll should really be relegated to just for fun. Embarrassed

But you libertarians really seem to easily get your panties in a wad. Geeze and liberals are bad about that?

Admin please close #2. Also, Slarti (not a Libertarian) opened a poll in the poll lounge which is obviously not a real libertarian thread (it's quite the opposite).

And let's open this one with this: I'm not sure what to think of this. Sure, regulation is bad but taking protections away from workers in this state-corporate kingdom seems even worse. Opinions?.
