Our Government thinks we are very stupid, and do not have a clue how to live our lives. Smoking is illegal in most public places, some states and cities have even completely outlawed it, even in your own car and home. Sure, it is a bad habit, and if I get ill from smoking, shame on me. Enough taxes are collected on cigarettes, which you can still buy, by the way, you just cannot smoke them (and we are the stupid ones?) to pay all the health costs the government claims are incurred by smoking. The government still subsidizes tobacco farmers, by the way. More tax money.
You cannot choose if you want to buy a car with or without airbags and seat belts, they are a government mandated luxury accessory you must buy. Why not teach people how to drive and handle a car properly and enforce driving laws? (and we are the stupid ones?) There are millions of drivers and hundreds of drunk drivers, guess who gets stopped in the drunk driver stops, ya, us sober ones. We are supposed to appreciate these amenities.
A few dipsticks and teen agers (who should not be driving anyway) cannot handle a car and a cell phone at the same time, so now we all have to stick a gimmick in our ear to use our phones. Why is anyone talking on a phone when they are driving anyway, emergencies or getting directions I can see.
Our children cannot pray or mention God in school, but they know how to put a condom on a banana by the first grade. Of course, they probably cannot spell banana, but they know how to dress it! They go to prison when they enter public schools, because less than 20 students out of millions did bad things. Why not put truth and ethics and respect back in the schools instead of metal detectors and drug testing? (and we are the stupid ones?)
We cannot do off shore drilling because the fish and animals do not like it, but we can pay $5.00 for gas, and sell our pipeline oil to Japan. We have the technologies to protect wildlife and the environment, but we must stay in the nineteenth century, because our Dad doesn't like losing control of his children. Keep us close to home, now that driving and flying are too expensive, so that the helicopters can keep us in sight. You do know that police and military helicopters can watch you from the friendly skies, the can see a flee o a dog almost, And yes,Virginia, there are Black Helicopters.
We have to be told what light bulbs to use. Which, by the way, you cannot see by. I am yellow in the bathroom mirror and grey in the bedroom mirror. Read for an hour under the Edison screwy bulbs and your eyes are watering and sore. Thanks Edison, my eyes werem't that good before your bulbs, now they are really bad.
Big Dad has mandated the change of cooking oil in restaurants and is thinking about outlawing fast food joints, but we can eat irradiated meat that the FDA approves and gassed fruits and vegetables, which also now can carry ecoli, but do not eat that Big Mac! Eat the foods that have all the great additives and colorants and preservatives, and estrogen (our girls are reaching puberty 2 years earlier due to estrogen in milk and food, who know what it is doing to our boys!)
We are not to smoke, drinking is okay, lots of tax money there, but do not leave the bar, you might go to jail just walking crooked to your car. We must change our diet to Big Dad's Fads, and we can take pharmaceuticals for diseases we do not have and may never have, just in case. Of course you most likely will become ill or die from the cure. (and we are the stupid ones?).
Oh well enough for now, more Maxims later, I got a headache just writing this, and there is so much more!
Bye for now brothers and sisters, don't forget to tell Big Dad goodnight.
