RE: I want people to be able to buy Gold Dust if they want to
I fully agree with you on this.
It looks like crap, but it's harmless crap, unlike the lethal crap that drug companies sell...

Vaccinations are a perfect example. They come with stated risks and stated benefits. Each of the diseases they protect against also holds certain risks.
It is my opinion everyone should judge the risks and make a decision. We can try to influence others, but I wish we would stop there and not try to control the outcome.
There are many drugs that hold a mixture of risks and reward.. Read, Research and Decide.
I am with you, read, research and decide. But, with vaccines, there is a risk that your decision has consequences outside of you personally.
I still struggle with this question... Should others have recourse if my actions have negative impact on others in the community? Should the risk if me getting sick be justification to forcefully vacinate... Should we be able, collectively shutdown voices on Steem that we feel is harming the brand?
Regarding vaccinations, It's a hard blunt truth, but society doesn't owe anyone immunity anymore than it owes anyone morality.
We absolutely already have the ability to collectively shut down voices that hurt the brand. That is exactly what the flags were meant to do. The issue is that it takes a consensus of stake!
