Dammit, this was supposed to be a funny rant with lots of subreferencing and in-jokes, but I keep getting carried away with all this serious stuff and details. I must be on drugs. They're two separate things. Get rid of the violence and hypocracy and instead focus on drug treatment and education. They're the only things that work on people who cannot control their drug use.
Laws have no positive effect.
And also, please don't go away from this thinking I am suggesting, or giving permission for you to take drugs. And just like alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee, you may be subject to being addicted. But there's one thing I want you to learn from this. A change has to be made. It will be up to you to do it, because our politicians don't have the will.
