Nevada has a lot of casinos which bring in Asian clientele that eat shark fin soup for social status.

Well, then maybe it's less useless than I thought it would be.

But still, if you think about it, isn't it still true in a way?

By imposing their values on others, they can sacrifice nothing themselves while claiming also to have taken part in their moral crusade. Enforcing morality at someone else's expense, after all, is much easier than changing your own behaviour to follow your own moral aspirations.

yeah it seems strange to impose a new legislation on fishery that has no purpose in a landlocked area. that to me seems as idiotic as banning polar bear meat in texas.
