"KEEPERS OF OUR MORALS" (self rightous motherfuckers)

2) THE KEEPERS OF OUR MORALS
(SELF-RIGHTEOUS MOTHERFUCKERS)

Any product that can be proven to be both harmful plus addictive, even though it be America’s love of the fast food fat laden cheeseburger, “THE KEEPERS OF OUR MORALS” will jump on it like vampires to feed their “taxation money fix”. Laugh if you like, but I can see a tax on fat content coming to a McDonalds or an added tax on your caffeine intake at a Starbucks near you. They don’t give a shit about people trying to quit a habit. In fact, they don’t really want you to quit. Just look at cigarettes. Even though it’s widely known that cigarettes are habit forming and you’ll most likely get lung cancer and die, are cigarettes illegal? As long as “THE KEEPERS OF OUR MORALS” satisfy their own “taxation money fix”, they don’t give a shit. They say they don’t want people smokin’ in or around public facilities. WHY?? It’s because the public has to go to these places and it would be a constant reminder to them of their hypocrisy. Second hand smoke my ass. That’s like a person who walks to work complaining about second hand fumes coming from automobiles. Should people who walk to work now say to car owners to get off publicly paid for roads and only drive in the alleys? Gasoline taxes help pay for those roads. Do you think those car owners are gonna want to hear that shit? Hell no. Before taxes are raised on property, income, sales, social security and way before churches fork over a cut on that bingo money, cigarette taxes will go up to pay for many short falls in city and state budgets with total disregard for the level of nicotine in those cigarettes. But everything is legal. I would think that selectively deciding the legal status and taxation of a drug based solely on that drug’s ability to end our lives later rather than sooner for the purpose of raising money by our government to be obscene, callous and hypocritical. Giving “GO PILLS” to our fighter pilots to increase their ability to kill, but not letting John Q. Public relax in a hot tub with a joint is only one example among many contradictions. A legitimate means of dealing with the war on poverty should not be one in which the government, through legislation and/or enforcement of drug laws, seeks to regulate the life span of it’s poor citizens so that they can contribute as long as possible but not live long enough to collect on the number of dwindling as well as under funded social programs.
It is said by many, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The good intentioned enactment of laws dealing with the use of drugs for recreational purposes has been nothing more than a moneymaking, job works program. While the increased use of drug testing for potential job applicants, which notably excludes jurors for a drug trial (let he who is without sin take a piss test too), plus those locked up or killed in drug related crimes serves to drain the pool of available workers, the need for more police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges, counts towards lowering the unemployment rate as well. Politicians see this as a win win situation second only to Greenspand lowering interest rates. Just ask our elected officials for a list of police officers and judges that have logged a lot of overtime and see what these guys are spending that money on. Speedboats and S. U.V. s are wanted by all God’s chillens not just the politicians.
It’s the “KEEPERS OF OUR MORALS” who want to criminalize recreational drug use that is heard the most because they have nothing to fear from a legal backlash. They believe that mankind is not to be trusted. And if left alone, mankind would destroy himself. Therefore, mankind needs these laws to restrain him until he realizes the folly of the use of drugs for recreational purposes. In addition, they argue that drugs for recreational use supports terrorists around the world. Hell, everybody knows that most of the weed smoked in the U.S. is grown here. And most of the growing is on government land so a guy doesn’t get caught so easily. You talk about a stupid motherfucker knockin’ his head up against a concrete wall. Wouldn’t it be a lot simpler for the government to just stick out it’s hand and collect some tax revenue?? They see they ain’t gonna’ win this shit. And it’s already on their land.
Even if a guy survives the crime, there’s still the time. Potential jurors on a drug case are asked in open court their feelings on the decriminalization of the use of drugs for recreational purposes. If you are for the decriminalization of drugs for recreational purposes, it’s assumed that you are bias, would let everyone accused of a drug offense go free and would not judge the case on it’s merits alone. As God is my witness, you will not be selected as a juror. Who does that leave? If you say that you are against the decriminalization of drugs for recreational purposes, it should also be assumed that you’re bias and want everyone accused of a drug offense locked up. How can anyone believe that this guy is gonna judge the case on it’s merits alone??? If prosecutors want to disqualify a potential juror who believes that drugs should be decriminalized, then defense attorneys should be right there with him disqualifyin’ potential jurors that feel that drugs shouldn’t be decriminalized. Either that or don’t ask the question in the first place. And don’t nobody ask the judge in open court how he feels about anything. Why don’t you want to know what’s running through his brain? The judge is supposed to be the referee. A judge should not care one way or the other and say so.
When all is said and done, there are more deaths due to drug related crimes then there are people actually dying from the drugs themselves. It’s as if the government purposely kept alive a disease, that probably would have petered out, so it could sell a cure. Then the results of the cure proved worst than the disease. Now, the main for the drug laws is the resulting crime and not so much the drug use itself, as was the case during Al Capone’s time during PROHIBITION. The young and the poor supply the victims. The fear of crime extorts tax money from the middle class. Rich politicians in Washington D.C. add fuel to the fire by only allowing weak gun laws out of congress. Their reasoning is that crime is why we need guns not why we have crime and that guns don’t kill people. People kill people. And that shit sells too. Wouldn’t we have been a lot better off without the present-day cure?
Don’t you have to take the training wheels off your kid’s bike sooner or later? When does there come a time when you are no longer helping him but hurting him? How can we not seriously consider the decriminalization of the use of drugs for recreational purposes? Are we like deere caught in some self-righteous motherfucker’s headlights and too afraid too move forward on this issue? Do we think that we can stick our heads into the ground and that all will be well in God’s universe?
I say that the use of drugs for recreational purposes be decriminalized and we allow market forces to determine prices. We should produce our drugs inside of our own borders and keep the money in the family. We should put limits on the sells of these drugs as we do with cigarettes and alcohol. Put age limits on their purchase. No sells around schools or churches. Attach labels explaining any health risk. License distributors. Tax the revenue. Use the proceeds from tax dollars to treat addicts who wish to quit. That’s the AMERICAN WAY.
If or when someone dies due to the use of drugs for recreational purposes, even if it’s lung cancer from cigarettes, we place their picture on billboards in and around the downtown courthouse. Atop the billboard we place a sign reading “WE TOLD YOU SO”. Why do we remember so well that six million Jews died in German gas chambers and not so well the 800,000 Tutsis and Hutu moderates slaughtered in Rwanda in 1994? It’s because the survivors and their descendents of those death camps will not let the world forget. Sins forgotten are sins repeated. We should make public the faces of victims due to the use of drugs for recreational purposes and keep those faces front and center by establishing a day of remembrance where people would wear a picture of a friend or loved one who died due to drugs pinned over their heart for the world to see and not forget. Whether the use of drugs for recreational purposes is decriminalized or not, there will be sadness among some of us as we bare witness to the passing of a friend, a brother, a son...., a wife. But if we are to have a truly effective program to deal with the use of drugs for recreational purposes, then our society must take off the training wheels and give us the opportunity to personally decide for ourselves.
