uberreinigerHas it already been two years? It feels like it's been a long time, but it doesn't feel like it's been two years. Does that make any sense. But the date got me thinking and that's always a dangerous thing. So here is my open letter to America about all the things it hasn't learned since the day the towers fell. *RANT WARNING*
1) To drug users: Marijuana and Ecstasy are bad for you. You know it and I know it, so please cut the BS. They are not illegal because the Mean Ol' Government wants to ruin your good time. They are illegal because these drugs make you stupid and there are enough stupid people born into the world as it is without you artificially making more.
2) To atheists: When you deny the existence of something you forfeit the right to be offended by it. So please, kindly shut up and let the rest of us enjoy Christmas/high school graduation/whatever. You are not being oppressed. You will KNOW when you are being oppressed. As a demonstration, please take a vacation in Iran or just about any nation in Africa or the Balkans so you can find out what being oppressed by a religion really is.
3) To Fundamentalist Christians: You are loud, rude, cruel, un-Christlike, and nobody likes you. Not even other Christians. Especially other Christians.
4) To a very tiny minority of black America: Nobody owes you reparations.
5) To illegal aliens: You are going the wrong way. Thanks to the crooked corporations who run our government making deals with the petty dictators who run yours, all our best jobs have been moved wherever it was you tried to leave from. Sorry. Joke's on you. I'm not happy about it either.
6) To pro-abortionists: I respect your point of view, but given it's nature, please stop being surprised when other people disagree with it.
7) To anti-abortionists: Remember all those children you told these girls to put up for adoption? Adopt one. It goes a looong way toward giving your argument weight. And lighten up on birth control, too. If it's that or a dead baby which would you rather pick?
8) To men: Contrary to what you may have read in HUSTLER, most women don't enjoy or even want to think about anal sex or sex with other women, so if your girlfriend says no, please just stop asking. However, if she says yes, (and more importantly, afterward says "again!") don't brag about it to your male friends. Cause dude, if you two break up, they're so totally calling her.
9) To women: We don't care how fat you are. Beauty comes from within and ugly knows no weight class.
10) To the Politically Correct: You are right, jokes about one's race/sexuallity/ethnicity/religion are not funny. What they are is FUCKING HILARIOUS! So step off the soap box, get over here, and start laughing your sick asses off with the rest of us.

Date: 2003-09-16 09:09 am (UTC)Lets just pretend we legalized a good portion of them. The goverment is now in control and it is regulated by the FDA. Now the goverment is controling the dose amount and the price of your fix. Are you going to be happy with the "Healthy" Portion that has been declared per dose? Maybe you'll buy more to get a better hit. People will complain abotu the price, the amount per dose, who is to say it will even stop drug wars and street selling? People won't be happy unless they can get enough of what they want or the type that they want. Peoples idea of legalizing what ever has a great many ramifications, and for people like you who are "weekend users" as you get called here, yeah it's not an issue, you people sit in your house or what ever and leave people the hell alone. But then there are also the crazy guys who run around going nuts in the street, or run over a little kid, I mean good lord we have enough problems with just alcohol, thats bascially one drug just one and look how much trouble it causes, why because people are stupid and a good number can't be responsiable with their actions. Imagine the chaos and trouble multipul drugs regulations police would need to deal with on a daily basis? What about cross selling of drugs? Mixed "Perscriptions" even better what about a bar type situation, legalized buildings for the selling "oh damn I sold little Sally some Crack when she was really wanting E" hmm hope that doesn't cause a problem.
what you want is a bigger headach than just fighting it and hopeing maybe, just maybe we won't see anymore crack babies oneday down the long long road.
Now you say you're responsiable, thats fine, plenty of people are not. If I had it my way alcohol would be illegal to, but i mean hell that would only prevent a couple hundred thousand deaths, so what do I know.
End Rant.
