As our state wrestles with a crumbling infrastructure, property tax insanity & a myriad of other pressing topics, our overpaid & generally useless state legislature is diligently at work drafting legislation about paintball.
Those of you familiar with our leaders are probably aghast that I used the word diligently. But don't worry, it's sarcasm. A recent letter to the editor in the PG pretty much sums it up & I couldn't say it any better myself.
The writer points out one of my favorite facts, which is the role of natural selection in our lives. I feel that survival of the fittest broadly encompasses what we could also term "death to the stupid" or "damn, that guy is lucky".
As a nation, we're constantly working against this natural process by attempting to protect the grotesquely stupid from themselves. No! No! No! Let nature takes its course!
There are certain things in life you simply should not have to be told. Surely you've seen the list of "actual" product warning labels making it's way around the net for years. While I hope this is an urban legend I've avoided researching it because frankly, I'm afraid it's not.
If you require warnings such as "do not attempt to iron clothes while wearing them" or "hey, this coffee is really hot so don't drive around with it wedged in your crotch" than you are really dumb. If you iron yourself to death or maim your genitals to the extent that you are now unable to reproduce, this is just nature's way of stopping your genetic line.
And to nature I say, "Thank you." To the rest of the world I say, "Leave nature alone, let it do the job for the benefit of us all."
