More Whining, and Evil in this World
I am a second-class citizen living in Florida. Because of my actions a lifetime ago, I cannot vote. The basic right of a democracy was stripped from me, changing my perception of America.
To me, America is not a democracy. I have no official say in the functioning of the government. All of my taxes are without representation, but I still pay them, and gladly.
My crime was delivery of cannabis. I should not have done it. Even though the person I was bringing it to had done the same favor for me a few months earlier, I should not have done it. It was and is against the law. I should not have done it.
I am sorry for my actions of over 20 years ago. But I have an extreme disagreement with the “conventional wisdom” that criminalizes behaviors that are harmless at best, and irritating at the worst.
Despite my scuff with the law, I support all of our law enforcement agencies. These fellow citizens uphold our rights by providing protection, many times laying their lives on the line. No, my beef is with the politicians, political corruption of the markets, and "morals" laws.
I have done my time, I feel that my punishment should be ended. Let me vote again. Please help me change the laws in Florida.
But what they have done is Constitutional.

Damn
And the woman who bounced me from the rolls is running for Senator.
And I hate her fake boobs, too.
No, her seemingly fake boobs are not the evil in this world of which I now wish to address (it's in the title, if it seems familiar). Please take a gander at this:

This is the type of thing I heard about in the Soviet Union during the cold war. That and kids informing on their parents.
God, I need something to cheer me up. Anyone got a comment?
