At the Grocery Store......

damn I should have brought my camera. But anyhow this is the sign I saw over the beer isle:

"NO ALCOHOL SOLD BEFORE 9:00AM. THIS IS A STATE LAW"

WTF?!?!?! One::: who is buying beer before 9am (never mind, I'm in the south), but two::: this brings up the other issues going on in government about them regulating what we can and can't do because they think it's safer for US or whatever.....ya know, I'm all for the seat belt laws, the helmet laws, maybe the gun laws.....but what I am not for is telling me what I can/should do with my own life. Now granted if it effects others, ok I can understand the laws/rules/regulations. But if I decide to barrel down the highway without a helmet, and someone HITS me, I know what the consequences are, and if my chances of life are knocked down a few notches because I didn't have my helmet on, that's MY choice. But I for one should be able to own that fully automatic machine gun, or shotgun, or whatever else I want without having to worry about the government up my ass. It isn't the WEAPON that kills people folks, it's the person behind it! I should have the choice whether or not I want to wear a helmet while on a motorcycle. I KNOW DAMN FULL WELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON'T WEAR ONE. Just like I know full well what will happen when I choose not to use a condom.......or not to wear a seat belt.......or whatthefuckeverelse. Granted, a lot of people are stupid out there. I'm sorry, it's the truth. And a lot of people will blame someone else if THEY are at fault because they CHOSE the path they went and something bad happens. Just like the idiots who blame fast food for making them fat. Well I'm sorry that no one has told you til NOW but YOU made yourself fat while stuffing your face with thousands of calories and barely moved your ass from the couch. But it's RONALD"S fault that you gained weight and now can't get it off. You know, I just cracked up when I saw that sign down the beer isle in the store today. Because it wasn't there before. Bad enough we can't buy alcohol on a damn Sunday. THAT'S MY DAMN REST DAY SO IF I WANT TO BUY AND DRINK ALCOHOL I SHOULD DAMN WELL BE ABLE TO. OMG this just beGINS a whole plethora of opinions I have on THAT Subject..........With the freedoms we have it seems that it comes a whole lack of accountability.......I feel that our little world over here will climax in a life-changing event (no it wasn't 9/11) that will send us back into thinking what is more important to us......at least I hope......because a lot of people seem to have gotten lost in materials.....and self-centeredness and well frankly, are losing the meaning of 'living'.........

AMEN SISTER!

Don't forget the smoking bans too because businesses determined it would be too expensive to uprade their HVAC air removal and flow systems and the anti-smokers don't want to go to a smoke filled place of business.

You would have thought our government would have learned what happens when they enacted PROHIBITION and then had to revoke the law. People seem to forget about that is what brought organized crime to this country -and it still is here in full operation because of prostitution and drugs. It won't be long now till they revoke abortion laws as well. So much for our inalienable constitutional rights!

I can't say I blame the government completely because it's the whiners of this nation, the people who like to pass blame and file lawsuits because they have narrow little minds. Something is wrong with our justice system when a little old lady can win millions of dollars from McDonalds for spilling coffee on herself or little Joey's Mom can win millions of dollars from Burger King because little Joey ate himself to oblivian on whoppers and fries and is now in congestive heart failure. The old lady was accountable for her actions -DUH -coffee is hot it's obviously going to burn you if you dump it on your lap. The MOTHER is accountable for feeding whoppers and fries to little Joey given their family history and genetic history.

I've discovered that if you grab Spanky by the head and make small fast circles he looks like a length of sausages spinning around.

Just thought you should know that.
