I wish those statements were true. Alas, they are not.
I'd like to hear how you think those statements are not true. If it's legal and I can afford it.... I can buy (or not buy) whatever I want.
Heck... "legal" and "I can afford it" aren't insurmountable obstacles.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
Not to venture off into politics but the recent health care bill makes it clear. You cant buy whatever you want. Of course, you could argue thats because those policies are no longer "legal". But thats the point, things I want to buy are illegal for no good reason.
Yes, there is always the black market, but I think thats kinda the point. Shouldnt have to rely on the black market.
