John what do you think of Australian society? It is scatological, intoxicated, and, lugubrious. So, John, I guess you don't hang around in crowded bars at night arguing for increasing the personal freedom and basic "human rights" of Australians in terms of extending liquor trading hours? Ah...no. Whilst not being a prohibitionist, per se, I would see myself more towards that end of the spectrum rather than the otherwise. The greatest human good sometimes is achieved through access-limitation rather than extant access-excess. Alcohol adds more poverty and damage to human society than it can ever add happiness, or reason, per se.
