- You Ain't My Mother, Uncle Sam! -
|
||
by Ulycees
|
||
|
||
For my own personal safety? Why thank you for caring, but I
|
||
dont think that I need you looking out for me. Who is "You"? You ask. "You"
|
||
are those law making people. The people that are higher in all knowledge
|
||
than the rest of "Us". They are the people that are setting the moral
|
||
standards in this great, twisted country of ours. Don't get me wrong, I
|
||
love this country, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Besides, I think
|
||
it's kind of entertaining to see the next flash of brilliance that the
|
||
government will spew forth. Now, my topic...
|
||
|
||
There are certain law making bodies out there that think
|
||
they have to take care of us. These are the people that pass laws for "Our
|
||
Own Personal Safety". Ok, I'll agree, it's kind of nice of them to be
|
||
thinking about me, but lets face it, I HATE to be told what to do.
|
||
|
||
Lets start with the subject that made me think of this text
|
||
file, the seatbelt law. Here's a good one. Me, I always where my seatbelt.
|
||
If I'm going to the store, or if I'm going on a long trip, the seatbelt is
|
||
always on. To me, they make me feel a little bit safer. Knowing that if I
|
||
do get into an accident, I might actually survive. But, why should I be
|
||
forced to where one? Other automotive laws I can understand. Speeding for
|
||
example. Speeding might put your life in danger, but it also puts the
|
||
people around you in danger. Who is to say that you wont loose control and
|
||
slide into someone elses car. But a seatbelt? What could happen? You get
|
||
into a head on collision, fly out your windshield and decapitate the person
|
||
in the car infront of you? I doubt that... The only person that could get
|
||
harmed from not wearing a seat belt is myself. Therefore, I don't think I
|
||
should be forced to wear one. It should be your own choice, not some person
|
||
with a "Better Standard of Living" than the rest of us. But, unfortunatly,
|
||
thats not the way it works. The state believes that they have to tell us to
|
||
wear one because it will make our lives so much safer.
|
||
|
||
After pondering that on the way to the Post Office (I was
|
||
wearing my seat belt on the ride there of course), I started to think about
|
||
other things. Real abstract things. "Hey, what was I gonna watch tonite?"..
|
||
"Oh yeah... Something about some guy video taping going over the falls in a
|
||
barrel on I-Witness Videos".. Then I thought to myself, "Hey wait.. Isn't
|
||
that illegal?" Whoa, there they go again. If for some assinine reason, you
|
||
felt like going over Niagra Falls in a barrel, you couldn't! Not legally
|
||
anyways. You better make sure you do it descretly and not attract alot of
|
||
attention beforehand. Why can't we do it? I guess that the law makers feel
|
||
that you would hurt yourself... Or die even. But whats it there buisness?
|
||
Maybe by the time I am 80, I will say "Wow, Ive done alot in my life. I
|
||
think I'll top it off by going over the falls". Whoa stop! Thats a no no!
|
||
But that question keeps nagging me! WHY? Why can't I do it? The only thing
|
||
that I can figure out is, they don't want to waste the time to fish me out.
|
||
Fine! Then don't! I didn't want your permission in the first place! Maybe
|
||
they think that we are polluting? Well, ok, I guess they got me on that
|
||
one. Pfft!!!
|
||
|
||
Then from that, I was thinking about death. And that
|
||
"Right of Life/Death" thing came up in my mind. Do you know, that if you
|
||
want to die, most people won't let you? Unless, of course, you have a real
|
||
understanding friend that will help you die, then on the other hand, he may
|
||
just be a real asshole. But, look at it this way. If you try to kill
|
||
yourself, and lets say... You mess it up. Even though you wanted to die,
|
||
people are still going to try to save you. Even if doctors come to the
|
||
scene and see a note that says "I hate life, Im killing myself.. Please let
|
||
me die in peace".. The doctors will not say "Well, he wants to die.. Pack
|
||
it up ... Call the Meat Wagon.." They are going to do their best to save
|
||
you. Then, you get into the hospital. You are on life support. The only
|
||
thing that you can do is utter a few syllables. But you can say one
|
||
sentance real well: "Take me off life support. I don't want to live". Guess
|
||
what they are going to say "Oh don't be silly.. ". Or in some cases, if
|
||
your a real vegetable, they may even ask your family. Well, I have a real
|
||
close family, but if I wanted to die, I would atleast expect them to grant
|
||
that wish for me. Even the Church has something to say about it! "What? He
|
||
killed himself? Christian he is not! You will not be buried in OUR grave
|
||
yard.." Hypocrits.. Jesus was the man... He could have gotten himself off
|
||
the cross right? Guess he wanted to die... But thats another story...
|
||
|
||
My point is, why should some selected group with set
|
||
standards be able to dictate to the rest of us, what we should do. The
|
||
governement really does think that the country is filled with a bunch of
|
||
idiots that can not help themselves. They believe that if they don't tell
|
||
us what to do, we will actually hurt ourselves.
|
||
|
||
"No Swimming.. There are squals from the off shore huricane
|
||
that are making a severe undertoe.. You could get pulled out to sea"
|
||
"Thats Ok.. I'll take my chances"
|
||
"No you won't, it's the law"
|
||
"Ahh"
