The Corrupt Government

My agrivation towards my anti-governmental position is enough to become a nuclear bomb. The constitution is my least favorite American document to ever be written, and I despise the very government that wrote it. Why:

-The president is supposed to be a great, big, powerful man but he is bound to his position by the very constitution that mocks him. How can one have such power and not use it? Perhaps there is a conspiracy in the presidency we worship.

-We have too much freedom. When is the government going to use it's power to actually help us? They say that we cannot steal a mere 0.25$ piece of candy, but we can kill ourselves by eating oversized portions of greasy fast food meals, and using drugs. I don't mean drugs as in the illegal kind, but cigarettes. If the government banned the drugs found in the cigar, shouldn't that also ban cigarettes? It is ridiculous. How idiotic of a government do we have, and how hard is it to be a president?

-It is George W. Bush's ego that keeps us from world peace, along with that of the egos of all other countries. Has a woman ever corrupted the government? No. Have men ever corrupted the government? Yes. I vote that it is a time for female leaders, as they do not have egos that would prevent anti-war demonstrations. We waste our deprived coal on supporting the vehicles and machines that attack other people, but what good is this? We also lose people. Am I the only one who believes that the fact we don't have world peice the dumbest thing in existance?

I hope that George W. Bush rots in hell for the depression he has caused to America! All he has to do is create an act banning ALL drugs, except perscription, and by forcing fast food chains to contain healthy food. I, personally, declare that the smartest thing to do would be to rewrite the entire constitution, being more particular therefor making the government's power useful.

Then why don't you simply shoot yourself in the head with a gun? It's not like the money you'll be using be useful otherwise, anyways. People are trying to quit cigarettes, and will die earlier because of their addiction. Wouldn't it be simpler to get rid of them so they are gone permanently and away from the youth's hands? I find your view very ignorant to the fact that you could simply fall off of a building and die quicker than smoking and wasting your life in misery.

As much as I oppose GWB as well, it is not as easy as you say to create or enforce a law. If it really was that easy, that is when you know that you have an absolute power, which inevitably leads to a dictatorship or monarchy. And believe me, that is bad for you, perhaps worse than fast food. Or smoking as well.

I like to smoke I find it fun, some people like to eat greasy food they find it fun, some people like to drink alcohol they find it fun. Who are you to tell them to quit doing something because its bad for them. Its their body.

Wow, I hopw you realise that you're against the current administration and not the Constitution. First of all, the pre-Constitutional America was under the Articles of Confederation, which were really sucky. Those were who wrote the Constitution, and you have permission to hate the government that worte it because it was pathetic. Second of all, the president of the U.S. is not supposed to be a "great, big, powerful man". That is only post-FDR and a result of the Great Depression. The legislature is supposed to be the most power branch of government by far.

Also, recreational drugs can be of great benefit to individuals and society. When they are problematic, they are a symptom, not a cause.

I highly suggest getting a little U.S. government education and American history. You are doing nothing but flaunting your ignorance. Yes, there are problems. You don't even know what they are or why and how they came about.

It must be sad to be so cynical at such an early age.

My recommendation: give yourself a chance to grow up a bit and learn a little more about how things actually work. Get out into the real world and discover how much beauty and joy and love there can be out here. :)

The president is not supposed to be a great big powerful force in the American government, the Senate is.

Move to Cuba, you'd fit right in. In fact by your reasoning we really should just forcibly deport you to Cuba.

-It is George W. Bush's ego that keeps us from world peace, along with that of the egos of all other countries. Has a woman ever corrupted the government? No.

Wow what a dumbass. Yes plenty of women have corrupted plenty of governments.

Have men ever corrupted the government? Yes. I vote that it is a time for female leaders, as they do not have egos that would prevent anti-war demonstrations.

We've had a lot of male leaders and a super tanker's load more anti-war demonstrations. You really like being ignorant don't you?

We waste our deprived coal on supporting the vehicles and machines that attack other people, but what good is this? We also lose people. Am I the only one who believes that the fact we don't have world peice the dumbest thing in existance?

Your one of the few too dumb to realize why its called world PEACE instead of world piece

Lethargic is right.
I don't believe in your less freedom ideology.
Yes, GWB is an idiot and I am all for his empeachment(if any governamnet offcial ever proposes it), but you choose to live in the US(I'll assume you live there), so you should accept what the people around you choose and decide. If you don't like it, found your own country and wait a couple of days before Bush wages another war for no reason and blows you up. You cannot rule with a sword, but only with a pen.
About the female leaders. Women leaders would be as good as male leaders. Women, as have men, have made horrible and brutal decisions(No offence to the french, but their queen's decision to kill the huggonauts)
Smoking? Yes, it is wrong and causes health crisis, and innocent people inhale the fumes. Yet if someone wishes to smoke it, thet may. It does not cause outbursts of violence and hallucinations like other drugs. It is perfectly legal.
Fast food? If Americans want to laod themselves with fat and grease, they may. It is not illegal.(Good movie: Supersize me) You might as well make sugar illegal since it may cause hiperness,
and is bad for your teeth.
The point is, we all have different ideas about governments. Would you like to live in a dictatorship, where you are constantly monitored on your actions and forced to do things, and under a government that outlaws everything that is unhealthy, but that you enjoy? .(Good book: 1984) No, I don't and I'm sure you don't either.

Corisan is also right. Its your body. You may do with it as you please. However Corisan, if you took Crack, and loved it, and then decided to take it again, while people say its bad for you, and you still take it because you like it, and then you injure yourself, you'd say its my body. Yes, that is true, but it is illegal for a reason, and that is because it hurts you. You shouldn't take it, even if its your body or not.

I hope I made myself understandable.

Cigarettes also hurt you, and fast food and alcohol and any other drug. Just cause Crack is worse for you dosnt make it any different then Cigarettes really.

The more power a government has the less power an individual has.

There is no such thing as too much freedom except to an oppressor.

Yeah. You can't claim to be "anti-government" and then demand that the government restrict people more. Well, you can, it just doesn't make sense.
