>You are making an important point but doing so in a confusing manner.
I'm going to plead drugs (of the legal/prescribed nature) and sleep deprivation due to a recent illness. Reading back in a few of my post I think I was losing sight of my main point.
>Prohibition is effective at controlling deviant behavior.
Is it? Prohibition on Kinder Eggs seems to have worked because there isn't much of a market for them. But prohibition on prostitution has not worked, even though I don't think the majority would openly support it. Prohibition on things more generally agreed outright wrong doesn't work as long as there is a demand for them. Kinder Eggs have no demand, so prohibition in general worked. But things that have a demand that cannot easily be fulfilled by other goods/services seem unable to effectively be prohibited.
