@WeirdWriter @benroyce @courtcan Good article. The same sense, writ smaller, happens in so many spaces. Pill testing and legalising drugs, for example:: "But it will send the wrong message" they say. And I just feel like screaming at them... "what part of 'people are dying' do you not understand?" And it's very hard not to feel, at the same time, that they know people are dying but they don't care, not about *those* people. Their stupid insistence on some kind of logical consistency stands in the way of them actually doing something good.
