DRINK DRIVING RANT!
The whole 'Prohibitionist' type system should be scrapped, since trying to control human behavior by legislative means has never worked, in the past, present, or future. It just creates a huge new 'monster' industry of fascist/communistic style Police enforcement under the pretense of doing good, in an effort to regulate human behavior, i.e. to keep us from hurting ourselves and possibly others in the process. The result is countless lives ruined (whether innocent or guilty), a massive legislative 'Behemoth' which feeds upon the masses, with increasingly severe penalties (because nothing is working), scarring and destroying many more human lives, all in the name of the 'Doctor and the Stethoscope'...doing good!
As someone once said: "If fascism ever came back to Germany, it would come in the form of a White Coat and Stethoscope"
Are we as humans so thick, that we are forever repeating the mistakes of the past! Have we not learnt from early 20th Century history...Prohibition does not work?
I remember watching an old 'Laurel & Hardy' video clip once where both of them are arrested for offering a bottle of beer to an undercover Policemen on a bus during the 'Alcohol Prohibition’ of the 1920's (seemingly absurd today). As a consequence of their actions they both received a 2 year non-parole term in a maximum security prison sharing a cell with Murderers, Rapists, Arsonists and the like.
Hopefully, you all get my point.
What has the so called 'War on Drugs' achieved, other than creating 'massive violent criminal cartels' with little or no effect to the supply and ready availability of all kinds of Drugs? Has Prohibition worked after almost 60 years?
Have we not instead damaged, criminalized, and destroyed millions of young/older lives in the process of Law enforcement, which far exceeds any destruction that the use of these (certainly softer) drugs would have of caused?
Now we have a relatively new 'WAR,' the 'War' on the 'Motorist' creating another massively expensive beaurocacy of Lawyers, Police enforcement agencies, and courts, with little or no effect on Drink driving, or any other traffic offense.
As a human race we have allowed so many 'IDIOTS' to be put in charge of our affairs, that it is just a matter of time before we destroy ourselves and the Natural World.
VOTE FOR ME, AND I WOULD PUT AN END TO ALL THIS MADDNESS!
