Lies, Lies, and more Bullshit…
Check out the post over at violentacres– V is absolutely correct, the war on drugs, euthanasia, et all are absolutely bullshit. This is my greatest pet peeve, it makes me god damned angry, what right does anyone but me have to determine what i should or shouldn’t be trusted with putting in my body? Why does someone other than me get to decide that it’s not okay for me to kill myself? Why does someone other than me get to decide anything about what I do with my own life and body? They shouldn’t. What really pisses me off is I get no say on what the money I contribute to the government is used for… I especially dislike the fact that they’re using my money to keep drug addicts in jail… over 700k drug arrests with jail time last I checked and with minimum sentencing guidelines… a lot of those people aren’t going to get out of jail until I’ve been dead for many years… and thousands and thousands of dollars of *MY* money getting used to keep a non-violent offender in jail… That’s supreme bullshit. Lets not forget the time the police waste hunting them down, the court costs, the cost of appeals, the cost of a state appointed attorney, etc… it all adds up to a whopping load of utter crap. Dump that money into education, health care, shelters for the poor, social security– damn near anything would be a better place to spend the money… or hell, here’s a crazy idea, just let us keep some of our damn money that’s being wasted. It’s just such an absolute load of crap… more damage has been done by prohibition (call the drug war whatever you like, but that’s all it is– prohibition.) than it has ever even come close to preventing. The sooner we’re treated like adults who can responsibly control what they do with their own being when it isn’t infringing on the rights of someone else to do the same… the better off we’ll be as a society.
