Fucking BULLSHIT. I had to drag my half dead ass into Walgreens running a fever and buy my own nyquil.

All of this is just ridiculous. It's NONE of the govt.'s business if people want to get high or not. That isn't the govt.'s job.

And forcing people to "register" for anything after they have already served their time is also un-American.

If the govt. thinks "sex-offenders" (which they have expanded the meaning of the term just like they did "weapons of mass destruction") are too dangerous to be free in this country then either execute them or never let them out of jail.

When I see things like this happening, all I see is the govt. taking our freedom. All I see are the majority of American's being tricked into giving their rights and freedoms up to the govt. without a fight.

The govt. takes these hot topics like "sex offender" and "drug addict" and use the worst case scenarios into scaring us "normal" folks into saying: "Yeah, that's a great idea! Let's keep them under control".

But to me, it means WE lose our rights and freedoms.

As I said, if we as a society agree that certain crimes are so bad...then let's never let them free again.

And if the govt. wants to somehow equate a guy raping a 2 year old (a REAL sex offender) with the same crime as a man having sex with a 16 year old slut...then that is just WRONG.

And if they want to decide that people getting high somehow constitutes the GOVT. dictating to you and me what we can and can't buy at the fucking store...does nobody else see a problem with this?

Was the United States founded on the govt. deciding everything we can and can't do in our lives and then controlling us while they tax us to the ground to pay for the privilege?
