Monday Morning Coming Down
All of a sudden, I dread Monday more than I ever have in my life. It seems the government likes to fuck with shit on Mondays. Or they do it over the weekend when the news cycle is down.
Today:
Knives: Apparently Iranians can have nukes, but I can't have a pocket knife that only requires one hand to be opened.
Cigarettes: Once again, I can thank the government for looking out for my safety. Nevermind that smoking will just fucking suck from now on (or maybe that's the point.) These things are terrible. I like to smoke. I enjoy it. And once again the government is dictating what is "safe" and "acceptable." Pretty soon, they will have mandated instructions on how to wipe my ass.
When is this going to stop? When will they not dictate every aspect of my life (food, car, cigarettes, knives, guns, economy, etc.)
I think I've had enough.
