You're not a slave, but I'm telling you what to do with your body... Leave the collar on.
Leave it on, I said, and get back on your knees!
I'm heavily reminded of a particularly shitty but hilarious movie that Sylvester Stallone did called "Demolition Man."
Quote:According to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal?
Unfortunately I cannot smoke, thanks to a nasty bout of pneumonia. I haven't dabbled in most any other substance defined as a "drug", unless you count the love Lewis Black and I share for Nyquil. But I will tell you from personal experience: I'd rather deal with a pot head than an alcoholic, as I've never had anyone take a hit off the bong and then yell abuse in my face, which is more than I can say about the drinkers. But having a problem with certain people who drink too much doesn't mean everyone should suffer for it.
Temperance movements of all sorts began long before anyone had access to the kind of science we needed to tell why any of these drugs may or may not have been bad for you. The movements were emotionally based, largely comprised of women who didn't like getting beaten by their drunk husbands. Except not every drinker is abusive, nor is every drug user, and we shouldn't have these ridiculous laws imposed on us just because *some* of the population has a problem with it. We don't stop selling nuts just because a large number of kids are deathly allergic to them, after all.
