in all probability or else they'd be using DDT, which is legal for malaria control.
DDT is a good example of a failure of capitalism. A wonder chemical that was pushed as a money maker as hard as the chemical company could and while it succeeded in bringing malaria under control in temperate climates, in tropical climates mosquitoes evolved resistance.
We're seeing the same thing now with anti-biotics. Drug companies have pushed the use so much that even live stock uses tons and it is routinely used for useless things like viral infections as well as being overused for much else and now bacteria are becoming more and more anti-biotic resistance and soon we will be back to early 20th century conditions when so many died of simple infections.

For now. It's amazing how quick people can descend into that kind of stuff, probably just a few days of empty grocery stores and no TV ^W Internet is enough. Lots of people will get violent if they don't get their Facebook fix.

The ones in the Conservative party seem to be supporting this.

A terrorist has been defined as someone against fossil fuels, or believing in climate change or against the current government, so yes, many Canadians are terrorists and they need to be preemptively arrested and locked up.

Promises of small government and tax breaks will get the votes. This what I hate about "Libertarians", they have little problem with this type of government as they're cutting taxes and shrinking government even though it's the oversight part that's being removed.

They've been attacking privacy ever since they got in. Harpers paranoid and is the most secretive politician ever yet doesn't believe in the privacy of the common person.

There's only one jurisdiction that has banned it and considering it is a country where the men are known for fucking it's just as likely its the men who banned it rather then having to take responsibility for their actions.

Two points.
Population growth stops as soon as people, especially women, are educated and wealthy enough to be secure. This has happened in most of the developed world.
The problem is that our economic system depends on endless growth so population growth stopping is frowned on.

Mars is actually close to the same size as the Earths dry land area. Solar insolation is about 40% of the Earth with less cloud cover and generally clearer skies. The atmosphere is very thin but not totally useless, it can be mined, it allows some erosion so dust particles are at least rounded, thick enough to stop vacuum welding and possibly can support flight. The wet past may have concentrated minerals much as on Earth though that's just a guess at this time.
The big problems are distance and radiation. Possibly the finings (small dust particles) may be a problem as well.

You need to look up how the conservative part of the population was treated during the American war of secession. Hint, painting someone with boiling tar can be quite terrorizing as well as being hung without even a trial.

Not everyone has your ethics. This seems like a general problem, too many people who would rip others off take it for granted everyone is the same.

Not so much in my country but it is sure easy for kids to get the illegal ones compared to the regulated alcohol and tobacco.

It's a free country, you have just as much right to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy your own laws. Of course being a free country means others have the right to outbid you.

Heard Randy Bachman bitching about politicians using his music for campaigning, seems they really like the song Taking Care of Business. In particular the American ones who create a shell company to run their campaign which goes bankrupt after the election so it's not even worth suing.
My government recently changed the copyright laws due to some media not allowing them to use their copyrighted stuff in their attack ads so they made an exemption for themselves as they're the tough on crime party and can't be seen breaking the law.

Why the hell would they want violent people in prison? Cuts into profits as you need more guards, more secure prisons and can't rent out their labour as easy.
