I feel I need to define where I stand on a few things. There are a lot of issues being debated these days where no debate is necessary. What follows is a series of issues that all have a very simple and straight forward solution that iliminates the need for discussion.
Issue: Legalization of marijuana
By all means, legalize it. This is the land of the free. If people are free to throw their lives away with alcohol, tobacco, and any other means they see fit, why not marijuana? If that money was legitimate, it could greatly improve the economy, and hey, why don't we tax it, too. I feel the same way about gambling and prostitution. The responsibility is on the consumer. The government should not be responsible for stupid people and stupid decisions. All we have to do is...... DON'T BE STUPID.
Issue: Abortion
People ought to be free to do as they see fit with their body, but if you don't even let them get out of the womb, how can they do it? On the other hand, look at the demographic this problem affects. I'm morally opposed to abortion, but do we really want these children to grow up in that environment? And of course there's those cases of immediate danger to the woman, etc., but those are isolated incidents that should be given consideration separate from the primary issue. Rather than regulation after the fact, let's try to avoid the situaion in the first place. Don't make it illegal, just educate people to make better decisions. The only good solution is...... DON'T BE STUPID.
Issue: Making personal problems someone else's fault
I'm talking about the people that sue McDonald's for making them fat, or the people that sue a store because they slipped and fell on the property. That's just stupid. You know the nutrititional value of the food, and you chose to eat there every day; you didn't have to. The owner of the business is not responsible for your stupidity. Again, the responsibilty is on the consumer. There's a very simple solution to this problem that I like to call..... DON'T BE STUPID.
Issue: Professional atheletics
You play a sport for your job, what do you need so much money for? You play a sport for your job, why should we care about your personal life? You play a sport for your job, why do the Clippers suck so badly? Professional atheletics is a fascinating cultural phenomenon to behold. We pay these men millions to play a game we could play for free in the backyard, less the cost of equipment. College is different because there's honor and glory and respect there, and college atheletics is an extracurricular activity that should suplement an academic pursuit, not replace it. But pro is makes a mockery of the sports. My solution calls for us to...... BOYCOTT!
Ha! I had you going there, didn't I? You see what I did there, huh? Yeah, threw a little curve at ya. I'm a loose cannon; I'm unpredictable. I'm on the edge and I might just snap. Bitch.
