| Message | By having no rules there will by no country. This is putting way to much faith in humans acting right just for the sake of acting right. By allowing those to put whatever they want into their bodies is a way to get everyone addicted to something and therefore more reliant on the government to take care of them. Lets get people away from addiction and government support as their crutch not encourage it. |
