Pellets from the Universe

Sometimes I wonder how the government is really protecting us and saving us from ourselves.

I get banning plastic bags, I guess, because those are just going to end up in a landfill, as part of the human fossil record, for forever.

But I’m not so sure about the paper straws, and paying to use a paper bag as a tax.

As if that’s going to build a bridge faster or make a bike lane safer.

Paper straws are a symbol of oppression.

This is how I’m a little conservative.

Because I love FREEDOM.

I want the freedom, where I live, to do dangerous shit like fishing off the side of the highway where cars are zooming past me at 70 mph.

That’s FREEDOM.

And I love it.

I love going to red states.

Their streets are safe, they have beautiful, clean parks, and everyone’s armed, but it like, doesn’t matter.

I read an article, about 10 years ago, that said open carry people always get the police called on them by citizens who think they’re going to shoot up the grocery store and the police have to come and ask for their gun permit. LOL

I don’t know, seems like hassle.

Shooting someone with a gun until they’re dead, seems like, why do that when you can just pepper spray the shit out of their eyes and run away?

All because why? Because it’s not manly?

If you shoot someone and kill them, even in self-defense, you gotta have a whole trial to see if you really were doing it in self-defense, and make sure it wasn’t just murder, etc.

I don’t know.

Seems like a hassle.
