More things that don't make sense.

I've got more to come. Enjoy these.
  • We are a nation of laws, but the current administration doesn't follow them.
  • We are a Democratic Society, but we are losing our rights.
  • You can legally buy alcohol (a depressant), but not marijuana.
  • Voting can make a difference, yet it doesn't.
  • You can get a receipt from an ATM , but not from a Diebold machine.
  • We are for Democratic nations, but not for democracies we don't like.
  • We give education even more money, yet our schools are failing to educate.
  • We are "civilized" yet we kill and torture.
  • Gambling is illegal, unless the state runs it.
  • Murder is illegal, unless you are a soldier.
  • Stealing is illegal, unless you are a CEO.
  • Abortion is immoral, but war is acceptable.
  • Violence is unacceptable even if you try to protect yourself.
  • You have the right to bear arms, but you need to register it.
  • Jesus taught peace, but Fundamentalists glorify war in the name of a god.
  • We celebrate free speech, if you are in a "Free Speech Zone."
  • Criminals don't register guns, but honest citizens are required to.
  • Muslims, Christian and Jews worship the same god, yet hate each other.
  • How can each episode of "E.R." be better than the last?
  • Why is "Reality TV" devoid of reality?
  • How can a weapon be called "a non-lethal weapon" and still be weapon? Couldn't wet noodle be described as non-lethal?
  • A criminal who robs a convenience store is more despised than a CEO who bankrupts a company and destroys people's pensions.

No my dear reader, none of this makes sense to me. This is modern civilization.

We've come a long way baby.
