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.

I’ve got a few thoughts about Gun Control that I recently saw expressed on a website very clearly — Let me quote it here…

If guns kill people, then…
  … Pencils miss spel werds.
  … Cars make people drive drunk.
  … Spoons make people fat.

In other news, my son had his penis correction surgery today, seeing his penis makes my penis hurt… it looks like a psychopath beat it with a hammer repeatedly… but it was necessary to fix the problems caused by his hypospadias.  Was cute when I showed up in recovery he was crying and trying to free himself from the nurse, as soon as he saw me he chilled right down and tackled me using legs and arms and went promptly to sleep so quickly his hiccups didn’t even stop. He went through it all like a little trooper, I’d have made more of a fuss than he did if they had done all that chopping on my penis.

Anyways, I just wanna sleep now, I’m exhausted from the stress.
