Prohibition and regulations.

Clearly some regulations are warranted, or else meat products might be rat when the company says its chicken or pork. Some regulations are good or else there might be a strip club next to an elementary school. Some regulations are good or else we might run out of air to breathe. Some regulations are good because if they didn't exist, everyday would be take your kid to work day (because your kid is an underpaid employee at the factory). Some regulations are good or else the factory owner might lock all the fire escapes, meaning you'll have to jump 14 floors to your death in the event of a fire.

Why are humans so evil that we need regulations in order to force them to do the right thing?

The regulations are a scam for big business it keeps the little man down. In a free market we would buy from the best manufacturer just look at Cheerios non GMO but they have the highest levels of glysophate. Meanwhile I can grow plenty of wheat but if I sell over state lines I deal with all the FDA regulations.

So most all of these big farms make a deal with big business and grow the way they are told to do and sell to the big businesses. It's a way to keep the rich rich and the poor poor. Don't even get me started on the meat industry what a load bullshit! A man can't even butcher his own cattle because of the FDA!!!

Why are children "taught" to behave? Is it human nature not to?

Yes, humans are born evil -- or to put it another way -- we're born rejecting society and its rules. We have to be taught to be good. This is one reason religion was invented.

And we need society. Even the australopithecines lived among one another and fossil records indicate that individually, many of them had broken bones that had healed. You have to have other people around to do that.

My fundamental problem with American government atm, is everything.

But, the thing that struck me the hardest, was the lack of support from the group who are convinced democrats deserve the current administration's partisan/and political attacks. The one's, who voted outside of the party, arguing that that their vote would have brought some kind of semblance of control to the opposition with radical/extreme left idealism. Their line of reasoning seems to have been that we deserve an autocratic, racist, sexist shit-stain for a leader because we were not honest with ourselves, and the way we ran the campaign.

So, instead of having a figurehead who we could of disagreed with on when it comes to a few policies, and still have some sort of progress, we all will have to endure 4 years of playing obstruction games with everything this orange shit-bag throws up onto us. Health care, tax cuts, all those things the right are so cavalier about. I do not know about you, but I do not want to become the party of "No". I never have. But, since they have set the precedent for this sort of thing when it comes to our ideas, I would sincerely hate to let them down.

I am not sure if that even makes sense, but, imho, it is still such a bummer that we couldn't get together as a party and keep these fascist cunts from trolling us for the next four years.

"There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, the people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all." - Savio
