Decriminalizing alcohol will only lead to millions of Americans becoming alcoholics and greater profits for mobsters.
Post 104895 by Taft deleted for the following reason: Short news article and "contact this guy" framing really both make for a pretty crap post. If it's a topic worth posting about above and beyond just being a bit of politicking, someone can take a better stab at this and make a decent post out of it. -- cortex

What's on your mind? The hostage-taking standoff I'm in.
Post 104804 by shivohum deleted for the following reason: I think the intersection of new media and strange real-life circumstances is kind of fascinating so I get wanting to post about this, but between the super gawkerish nature of the situation and the facebook-heavy nature of the linked content this feels like not a great idea for a post. -- cortex

Is Apple bypassing the Web?
Post 104678 by doctornemo deleted for the following reason: hiya -- you probably want to post a few links here a little bit absent some of the personal opinion stuff. Not that ideas aren't great and links to things to talk about aren't great, but sharing stuff on the web needs to be a little more stuff and a little less your thoughts about stuff. No big deal and a do over tomorrow would probably be just fine. -- jessamyn

Fukushima : "the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind"
Post 104628 by Poet_Lariat deleted for the following reason: Feels like the framing here is not so great; I know that the Fukushima situation is a pretty crazy one, but to an extent we need to not just have a recurring "and here's another linkdump, let's argue about nuclear energy some more" thing going on. If there's something specifically new and notable with the situation, a focused post about that is probably a better way to go. -- cortex
