    Pooks I can't even begin to understand where you are coming from. Don't you realize that there are tons of laws that were simply enacted due to money (making Edited. Read the board rules. No rec drug posts. illegal) or social pressure (gear illegal even though DEA/FDA didn't want to make it illegal)?

    Just because some old politicians voted to make something illegal doesn't make that act truly a crime. Seriously, they can make ANYTHING illegal at this point. Fatty foods, soda, motorcycles, airplanes, video games, etc...

    We DON'T have to accept that. You can't legislate morality and you can't put every American citizen in a harm-free bubble. What's life worth if you're go around encased in bubble wrap?

    You got me wrong bro..
    My beef is that everytime they try to think of a solution, they do it thru GOVT intervention.. making gov't bigger or somehow more involved..

    Thats what I don't like.

    They only think of solutions through Addition... not deduction...
    but thats looking through the eyes of the gov't

    to see how that really impacts us.. u got to flip it..

    its DEDUCTION of our money, thru taxes, or freedom thru other gov't involvement in our lives..
    we need solutions by ADDITION.. addition to our pockets with less taxes.. and addition of more freedom thru smaller govt
