This may sound like an essay but it's something I feel strongly about. And I just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. I was in the military for a while. I got hurt pretty bad. And I got discharged. I didn't get a severence pay because the doctor claimed eventually I would get well and it wouldn't effect my life. While I was sick I was having problems paying my bills. I go to college I work and pay taxes. I strive to do better to have a decent life and live comfortably. Just be a normal citizen. I needed financial help. I went to the local food stamp office with a copy of my LES (military paycheck) and the lady said I made too much money for a single white female with no children to qualify for any assistance. After that I decided that I hated my government. I pay them taxes and I'm a hard worker I don't punch out kids to mooch off of the government I am trying to make a great life for myself and the government can't reward me. Being a military personnel after that I felt like a traitor for thinking my government had fucked me in the ass. I have so much love and respect for those who fight for what they are told is a just cause. And I honor those soldiers who have lost their lives due to our own governements greediness. Some people would call me a terrorist and say i'm commiting treason for speaking out against our government. But I'm not. Terrorism is wrong. I do believe terrorists should recieve the death penalty. In this country the land of the free we can't even speak out against our own government without another citizen calling us a traitor. Since when did a free country get so bad you can't voice your opinion? I think about the Vietnam War and how the government paid companies to create agent orange, agent white, agent blue and another chemical for defoliage of the jungles. Claiming that AO was harmless to humans. Yet in all the studies on lab rats they all d veloped some sort of disease or genetic problems. When the government was being questioned about the harmful effects of AO they did studies on soldiers that only went into camp to shower and change. No studies were ever done on the ground troops. The ones that were drenched with AO daily. Their skin was wet with AO. They slept in it. They drank the contaminated water. How can a country who had the technology to make a bomb massive enough to blow up a whole city just 10-15 years earlier not know the effects of AO? They did. And through Americas greed and the strive to be number one the government hid it. And lied to our precious soldiers who were made to fight that unjust and neeless war. Drug policy. Another example of greed and how law makers only care about their pocket money. Americas prisons are filled with non violent drug offenders. Prisons where they put murderers and rapists. And why? Because the government makes millions if not billions each year from drug related arrests. They have law makers creating drug policy that have never even smoked chronic. Telling us if you smoke weed today you will use heroin tomorrow. Well I've been smoking for 9 years and I've never use another drug. Yet being so anal retentive about our money we still go over to another country and tear their cities to hell. Promising to build it back which costs millions. And we will build it back too. The people living on the street could use some of that money. People like myself that work hard every day could use a little help as well. And after all the government has done for me... and helped me out I can't go home and smoke a damn joint in my own living room on my own god d*** time without wondering when if at all I'm going to get busted by this ever so giving and loving government. Who looks after the well being of society by making it a crime for me to get high in my home and mind my own damn business. Yet my trailer trash neighbor with 5 kids and a slut for a wife can sit on his fat ass, drink beer all day, sleep until 12 pm, live off of my taxes, piss in my yard, beat up his ole lady, and teach his children that the only way to get free money is to have sex and start punching out kids,and it's totally acceptable, legal, and rewarding behavior by our wonderful government. And they wonder why people become drug dealers? Well there is your reason. You can't live a life that is concidered moral and just in the eyes of the law. When the government won't help you and you have no where to turn drug dealing is better and heathier than prostitution. And to all the drug dealers out there all I have to say is do your thing and what you have to do. I have love for you. And all you people who feel they have been fucked in the ass by this government. Well god bless.
