I have kids. And it was illegal when I was a teenager too. Did that stop or even slow me or any of my friends down? Hell no!
Every time I see people giving the govt. the green light to take their freedom away on behalf of the "kids" I want to scream.
Think about it...we all smoked pot as teenagers. We all drank as teenagers. We all had fun as teenagers. It was illegal to do it...but we did it anyway. Partly BECAUSE we weren't supposed to.
And teenagers have been doing that since the beginning of all time. And they are still doing it now.
And guess what? Our kids are going to be grown ups in what will seem like the blink of an eye. And then they will be just like us...pissed off because we gave away all of THEIR rights as adults to protect the "children"
I guess what I'm saying is it seems to me that politicians and power-mongers (the same thing?) love to use "the children" as a rallying cry to make us all surrender our freedom.
After all...NOBODY is against doing what's right for the defenseless children. So we MUST make EVERYTHING illegal.
Think about it. And I'm not exaggerating either. Like I said in an earlier post...all this shit WAS legal for centuries. Right up until the 20th century. THEN the govt. started taking control of people's lives and making it all illegal.
And yet everybody reminisces about the "good old days" when the world was a much more "innocent place"
Folks...we are watching ourselves be railroaded by those in power. They are changing history and changing the very way people think and perceive things.
I'm not sure there's anything we can even do about it. Another generation or two and there won't even be anybody left alive that remembers real freedom.
Just a country full of people who were born and raised in a country where damn near EVERYTHING is illegal and you can be searched and forced to piss in a cup or blow into a breathalyzer or have your phone tapped, etc. etc.
