Right On

Exactly.

I understand the government's desire to control what we do, how we act, who we interact with, what we do with our own bodies, etc. I get it. Controlling the populace, especially women, has been one of the main purposes of government since Grog discovered the secret to making and controlling fire, and then the tribe counsel enacted a law by two-thirds majority that fire was far too powerful for every individual to have and Grog was summarily executed for fear that he was conjuring evil spirits, and that is how his food got so tasty.

Or, at least that was what the counsel told everyone. Have they ever released the Grog Files?

No matter. Just because the government wants to control us doesn't mean they should, and what people do with their bodies, with the bodies of those they love, the drugs they might take, the raging rivers they might swim in... the chances they take, and the choices they make belong to each individual and to the individual alone.

As long as those choices and actions do not infringe upon anyone else's pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, no one should have a damn thing to say about them.

Be decent to each other, and be free.

  1. AMEN.

    …and, should there ever be a need, as this is MY body, I should have the right to decide when it shuts down.
