before saving the sharks, should we not first focus on global warming, that which would otherwise kill off a lot more sharks along with all sorts of other creatures, and to defeat global warming, ought we not ban the private car? yes, i think that should be. given that your authorities refused to sign on to the kyoto protocol, i am counting on your for the people by the people against other people universal suffrage rule by making up rules regime to right a wrong.
ah, or tax the car at 120% rate as we already do in hong kong, and we most assuredly do not have a problem with inward bound smuggled cars.
otoh, per discussion re drugs, i believe the drug trade is outright banned, and yikes, people are dying all over the place in our altruistic effort to save the various flavors of drugs.
simple answers rarely work. if we cannot effectively raise the price of shark fin by combination of taxes, whistle blower laws, confiscatory punishment, etc etc, then what hope is there to save americans from latin american drugs?
maybe sharks can be farmed? am guessing imperative shall give rise to solutions, as long as the pricing is high enough, just like what is happening in the energy arena.
you, typically, have much faith in big government and large intervention. i naturally, being from freedom hong kong, hold true market principles, everything else being equal.
just for example, do you not see that the financial / monetary mess centered around the new york - washington axis is made possible by government intervention?
do you not see that even with per square foot pricing the highest on the planet, freedom hong kong does not have a banking crisis.
trust i am not being too complicated in reasoning and lateral reasoning. |
