The Congress, I read in this morning's newspaper, is considering a bill that would make entertainers, promoters, bartenders and such responsible for the use of marijuana (and other illegal drugs) by individuals attending concerts.
This is not nuts, just inconsistent. I see no reason a society should not discourage the use of drugs. However, it is surely senseless to leave out alcohol. whose dangers far outweigh those of pot, if measured only by the violence it so often provokes.
I am not holding my breath, however, until that happens.
PS The bill also presents Constitutional problems, of course, but the Constitution no longer presents the obstacle it once did to arbitrary government power. Thank the so-called "conservatives" in Washington for that.
