BranchDavidian Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Phew!!! America has been saved. We simply must NOT allow citizens to use Mother Natures bounty as they please. Who do these people think they are? Just what do they think gives them the right to pursue their own happiness? How will the rest of humanity survive if these people are allowed to harm themselves with their medicine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranchDavidian Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 You'd think America would have learned after the disaster of prohibition. Our government actually put poison in alcohol to dissuade people from drinking. Thousands died as a result. The mob gained a lot of power and money. And, more importantly, we ALL lost a little bit of freedom.Yet, our leaders insist upon telling us what we can and can't do to an ever greater degree. This country was founded on the principle that we each have the freedom to pursue whatever it is that makes us happy as long as we don't harm others. But, after our government started to grow and take more and more power at every opportunity - we have lost our freedom to pursue happiness. Too many government officials, and ordinary citizens like ckid, are only too happy to tell the rest of us what we can't do - when it is really none of their business and quite Un-American. But, the bigger government gets the more intrusive it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
