Prohibition Is Unjust

The government has no business interfering with voluntary, peaceful transactions among adults. People have a right to spend their own money on whatever form of entertainment they like, as long as they do not violate other people’s rights in the process.

This is not prohibition against betting a dollar that I can pick up the ten pin at the bowling alley. This is prohibition against a form of gambling which can easily lead to addiction and the many proven results: embezzlement, suicide, child and spouse abuse, etc. Why should the government allow and/or sponsor an activity that is so destructive? Do you know of anyone who has commited suicide from paying a penny sales tax? If so, please provide proof.
