Download Vice Capades: Sex, Drugs, and Bowling from the Pilgrims to the Present AudioBook Free
From the illegality of bowling in colonial America to violent video games and synthetic drugs, Vice Capades by best-selling creator Tag Stein examines the country's romance with the activities, attitudes, and antics which may have defined morality. This extensive yet humorous record reveals our views of vice are not formed merely by morals but by electric power. By viewing a variety of vices across the course of American record, Vice Capades brings into focus the country's inconsistent moral compass and helps us understand shifts in laws and regulations to combat vice by exposing who and what wields electric power (often invisibly) in america. While laws and regulations against such things as nude dancing have become less restrictive, restrictive laws and regulations have been enacted against erotic harassment. While marijuana is no longer illegal in numerous jurisdictions, restrictive laws and regulations have been enacted against smokes. Stein examines how this nation's inconsistent moral compass has consistently pointed to every era's powers-that-be and enables us to view shifts in the power structure occurring before the people became alert to particular laws and regulations against vice and who decides what is or is not regarded vice.
