Nearly all agree that chocolate, strawberry, almost any other conceivable flavor be banned, but there is a furious debate as to whether clove-flavored cigarettes should be a permitted exception. ‘The very existence of such a debate,’ said Alex Epstein, junior fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute, ‘the fact that the government is dictating anything related to what flavor cigarettes may or may not be produced and consumed is an ominous indicator of the state of liberty in America.’ "
What more can be said? Just this: in America and in the West liberty and commonsense no longer need analysts. They needs coroners.
