We put people in prison for drugs, yet alcoholism kills more Americans than marijuana. We punish tobacco companies, but not the pork industry or alcohol producers, or auto manufacturers. We do not want to believe in the Bible, yet we believe the propaganda printed by corrupt politicians. Suicide is illegal, but a cop has the right to kill you when you go for your wallet. We are guaranteed the division between church and state, yet the Baptists can make laws concerning our right to purchase alcohol. We drive on the right whereas the rest of the world drives on the left. Our president turns loose terrorists who kill Americans, protests war, and then sends your son to Bosnia. He commits adultery, and then suggests we pray for world peace. Does anyone see a weird pattern here, or am I the only man in America who thinks we are heading for a huge fall?
