Yeah, but we live in a society. We can't abandon fools to die on the side of the road. Uninsured (M4A) cancer treatment costs as set by the govt/industry are destructive. I have no problem with high taxes on products proven to kill. Booze only does it to certain people (hello, self). Cigs essentially get err'body.

Overall, this is all a feature of the slavery caste in the US. Owners, managers, overseers, slaves. A few specialties.

There is no central police authority in this country. The States do not have centralized police departments. Staties, sure. Control below that level? Nope. All little independent fiefdoms. Plantations, if you will.

Take a look around. Every other Tom, Dick and Harry is some kind of cop. DHS, TSA, BORDER FUCKING PATROL , it's endless. I'm glad I'm old. Because I just came out of a forty-year dissociation from grief trauma. And I've been becoming more alarmed with each passing year at the ignorance and violence that is considered "normal" in this place. I despise handguns, don't like guns. I'm debating getting a shotgun. Because the fascists have come around again, and are going to need slapping down again, as we do every eighty years with these fuckers. And their chosen market is stupid enough to buy half of a story, lock, stock and barrel.
