Default realizing things about the government

i've realized how unfair laws are....some are needed but many of them are just there so the government can have a sense of security...security that they have control over society and that they can not and could not get overthrown. our government has a system when they can tak take take and push you around and if you rebel they give you a feared punishment. why do we enslave our self every day by obeying these laws we know are unfair and unjust..why don't we stand up and fight the system if we beleive it's wrong. society is just taking it every day and letting the government take advantage of them. how is it that weed is illegal when alcohol is sometimes physically worse and mentally wose than weed and tobacco is for sure physically and mentally worse given the chemicals and addiction factors. I think society should stand up and say no...let's end the drug war and legalize these substances because it's our personal right to put what WE want in OUR body. I think coke and all the other drugs that have no positive benefits except that they give the user a good feeling should continue to be illegal because they might disrupt or destroy society... i mean coke, herion, meth etc. have no positive benefits so they should be illegal. but those are just thoughts i came accross, not thought through but hey i'm just saying our government is not free...we are not the land of the free... and there is no perfect government out there that would work..but there sure is way better ones.

I was watching comedians doing standup tonight and half of them made jokes about marijuana, and using it. The whole crowd laughed at all their jokes. So many people use it, I can hardly believe the penaltys for using and growing it. Nobody said life was fair though.

I don;t blame them for wanting security. Read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and you'll understand how scarry freedom is. I do agree though that our government is oppresive.

they will say that sometime between 1900 and 2000 we went wrong. it began with prohibition leading to organized crime in the 1920s.

Ignorance is bliss. A wise man once said, (Dan Akroyd) "What the American public doesn't know is what makes them the American public." People would rather believe the lies they are fed than to believe that they have been lied to their whole lives.

If I'm being oppressed then all I can say is that it aint so bad.

So, you saying that 'things' were better before 1900?.....perhaps you should be a little more studying of American or world history.
