Cutting out meat, I can still easily gain protein from other sources, but right now sources to supplement dairy are not available to me. I think if most people look at where they are they could probably easily do without meat if they cared to. Smoking tobacco is something I've been pretty good about staying away from. Giving large corporations money to profit from an addiction is no something I can do. Besides, I like to feel my drugs.
Drug laws seem very hypocritical.
They prohibit the smoking of something like marijuana which has no physically addictive properties, has a slew of medical applications, and has no seriously damaging affects. On the other hand smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are legal because there is profit to be made by the large corporations producing the product. Other drugs I can maybe understand being illegal at the moment, but the reasons for legalization of marijuana are many, and the reasons against it are few and contradicting. For the most part I am pretty apathetic about politics in general. There doesn't seem to be much of a representation of my views from the main political parties and politicians.
