In Which One of Us Came Here and We Went Back To Speak of This in a Way Knowing I Will Be Drawn To You

I cannot also believe I live in a world where things like this are occurring:

Kallen Ford and a friend were playing hacky sack outside Colorado’s Boulder County Courthouse when a police officer approached. The cop took their sack and issued Ford a $250 fine for “releasing projectiles on the mall.”

Also in Great Britain, government officials say hospitals are too efficient. At least six of the nation’s health trusts have forced hospitals to create minimum waiting times for patients to receive treatment. Officials say the hospitals have “gotten ahead” of what the National Health Service can afford.

A court found Pitchfork Records owner Michael Cohen not guilty of selling a bootleg CD, but he still can’t get around 600 CDs seized by police back. In asking for the albums, Cohen agreed that some of them were bootlegs and selling them would be illegal. He says he wants them back for his personal collection, but the Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that even possessing such CDs is illegal. If the ruling stands, the CDs will be destroyed.

The reason politics have lost all credence with me lately is that over time, through a calculated investigation informed by the most libertarian magazines out there, that there literally is almost nothing a person should not be free to do. A person should be permitted to sell anything. A group of people should be permitted to sell everything, anything.

As such, I take a very strict view. I do not believe in copyright, although I will respect copyright laws while I am in this country. I don’t believe people without means should be restricted from accessing everything the culture provides.

If our government was kind or just or meant to be, it would leave us nearly all alone, free to do what it likes. In a way police are a funny tool of this, and aren’t really bad in their own right. I am not saying there is not a moral right to be enforced, only that those who enforce the morality have entirely the wrong view on things. The American jury system is silly and like any system of law, it feeds on itself, always growing.

The correct moral state is not to make a law if there is not a reason to make one.

A society with a better way of choosing its leaders could perhaps progress further, more quickly, into the coming future. As I’ve told Bernie a fucking million times, the new cultural paradigm may choose leaders based more on fame. Since we will know everything about our coming presidential candidates (there is apparently a full record in the Library of Congress on the sand in Hillary Clinton’s vagina).

This is a brilliant example of my theory all coming together in one brilliant YouTube clip:

Furthermore, my mother insists that America will never elect a black man as president. She either will be proven wrong, or will be proven right.

In such times there are two options. One is to become closer to another mammal. But there is also art.
