I'm sure you're right, Clinton. I may be an oddity (no comments please!) but if I see something on sale from 'a bloke in a pub' for half the price it usualy is I question it's origins. As long as people want to buy illegal goods others will make money out of them:-(

As you say, stopping the demand is impossible, hence my earlier comment, so perhaps the best we can hope for is a restriction of supply? If that is done by outlawing the goods or taxing them is perhaps a more apt question. Trouble is that whichever way you do it the more unscupulous will make money one way or another.

How do we get round ity then? Giving everything away free? Everyone working just for the love of it and getting what they need from the communal pot? Tressells 'Ragged trousered philanthropists' goes a long way to explaining that kind of Eutopia. Explodes it all in the end though with one simple argument. Human greed will always win out.

Ah, well. Better get myself a bottle of MacRuskkies genuine Scottish Whiskie, a big splif and forget all my worries...
