The price of gas in America

[Sacred Jellybean]

It serves no useful purpose in society. *is high on life*

Video games serve no useful purpose in society, when you get right down to it. Admittedly, it's a lot harder to become addicted to video games than mind-altering substances, but still, this argument is bunk.

If you want let the big brother government tell you what you can and can't do for your body, where do you draw the line? Piercings can be harmful, if they're infected. HIV can be transmitted via tattoos, can't it? I think homosexual and oral sex and any intercourse position other than the missionary are all disgusting, so let's throw them out the window, too. How about fast food? IMO, McDonalds is greasy and delicious, addictive in it's own fashion. It isn't, of course, as intense as currently legal and illegal substances, but better safe than sorry, eh? Hey, we should also make laws against people being lazy. We should install alarm clocks controlled by the government that wake everyone up at 7am on Monday through Friday, because after all, if they aren't worthy members that contribute to society, their activities should be frowned upon. While we're on a roll, I say we also get rid of coffee. Did you know that caffiene is more physically addictive than pot? Sounds scary - bye bye, Folgers!

I know I'm taking all this to an extreme, but I'm trying to prove a point. There comes a time when we need to draw the line and disallow the government interfere with our own private lives (private lives - that includes not driving behind the wheel while burninated or smashered). IMO, they interfere enough as it is. Come on, let's get a libertarian into office!
