Re: "I disagree that it is essentially private behavior." >>> What one does in the privacy of their own home isn't 'private behavior'? Well, call in the federal storm troopers (but hope they don't ever decide that something you do is 'immoral'... like eat fatty foods - which may be a clear medical problem... and thus, social cost, or fail to live in some other federally approved way.) Re: "I disagree. We are the wealthiest society on earth, and have the highest rate of consumption, period." >>> True, but we consume more drugs than the rest of the world put together... far in excess of our relative per capita wealth. So our wealth alone doesn't explain it.
