New Laws, Same Problems, Old Story


I live in a world where a lot of people believe legislation can fix the problems of the world. People believe all kinds of shit.

On the way home from the mill today I passed by the scene of an accident. Looked like several people had been badly injured in a high speed wreck. Coincidently, new laws which will further punish excessively fast drivers came into effect today. Did not look like those new laws did any fucking good at all.

If you think more and more harsher laws bring about a more civil society, a society where we hurt one another less than a society based on Freedom and mutual aid instead of government coercion, I doubt you will ever change your mind. The world is weird that way.

Motherfuck the government is what I say.

I hear that BC has just passed a law saying you can't drive over .02% ? True ?

.05. The government must not have been 100% sure we weren't all already criminals.
