It seems to me there might be
a conspiracy theory afoot, really here in America today and I don’t think we
are aware of it, in fact I feel it has
become an integral part of how we live, think and go about our lives today . We
have voted and gone along with a right wing Christian directive that didn’t
necessarily come from the almighty above.
All you drinkers who thought that after prohibition passed you would pay
your hiked up tax rates on the devils venom and that would be penance enough
are sadly mistaken.
At all levels of government
the Christian right have impregnated the key positions of law making and
enforced there intolerance for drink, and given us all types of easily governed
and policed money making regimes for the penalization of the non-believers.
Speeding and other traffic
violations unless linked to drink are poor revenue providers compared to DUI on
its own. States like Florida, who initially fore goad the lucrative gaming
business and all the taxes they could have benefitted from, went with DUI laws
that bring in a much better way of dealing with human problems that we
sometimes try to forget about. Unemployed, illegal immigrants, transient
problem, vagrancy, parole violators, lazy people in general can be more easily monitored and dealt with if
strong laws and penalties are enforceable.
With the DUI laws, offenders, and then repeat offenders can be held in the
system and made to pay huge amounts of money that help to keep the state
running. Sounds like a good plan at first glance, but with all great plans if
abused it becomes redundant. If the crime is punished with only the thought of
revenue to the state and not the protection of the individual’s rights we are
prosecuting, the law goes awry. Florida
is the state of choice for all drug and drink rehabilitation in the USA.
I just want to ask the
question, WE DID NOT want gaming and all the problems that come in the box of
tricks with it, DRUGS, DRINK, CRIME, ETC. ETC. but vast Tax revenues, we
already have the lottery and boats offshore.
WE GOT! Halfway houses, Re-hab
clinics, overcrowded prisons and a drug center for the whole of the USA.
And very strict DUI laws that make sure we
keep those numbers climbing.
Are we getting all we expected, what we voted
for, what we thought we voted for, or are the dealers of life dealing from the
bottom of the pack and taking us down a different road with a road block ready
to test our sanity and our sobriety?
