The Fourth of July means so much to so many different people. What does it mean to you, and why? As it was originally the birth of our nations independence from England, and we are no longer under the tyrannical rule of a king foreign or domestic; we tend to focus our attention to more freedoms many of us would like to have, but do not possess at the moment. Freedom to smoke pot without incarceration or fines, freedom for women to bare their breasts without public outcry. If it seems that I’m just going to talk about smoking pot, and checking out bare breasts, then you are correct. That’s the stuff that America is (or at least should be) comprised of.
No, we probably shouldn’t go around blowing reefer smoke into the lungs of children at play. No one should even blow cigarette smoke their way in my opinion. Nor should we be allowed to get high and operate heavy machinery, fly planes, or perform surgery on people while under the influence. But two guys sitting on the corner, minding their business, being respectful of children and elderly on the Fourth of July should just be able to enjoy their smoke without persecution. Many people would likely agree; and the laws are bound to change sooner rather than later.
Also, who can argue with tits? Seriously, and not to be facetious at all, but tits are so lovely and the fact that a man can go around baring his chest wherever he pleases, or at least wherever he is allowed access without a shirt (restaurants not included) so should his woman be allowed the same freedoms. It is not a perversion to have breast about, it’s the liberation of the nipple that we’re talking here. Who could be upset with that? Hitler, that’s who! Why is it such a big deal that women walk around covered. Who are we to tell women what is acceptable anymore? What is it that we are trying to preserve? What great danger or harm is being avoided by clothing women’s nipples? Wouldn’t it be the norm and not such a big thing if the practice was allowed, or rather not discriminated against.
Think of how lovely a summer evening you could have if you and your friends were leaving or heading to a pool area where there is alcohol being served, marijuana being lit, and topless women lounging about the sides of the pool. Sound like an interesting place? As soon as it’s legal, it will surely be my night club of choice, if not my place of business. Do I think this is some kind of euphoria that can be achieved without people getting their feathers ruffled? The answer to that is “no”. Someone is always going to find fault in whatever takes place. Those people are not invited to the party however. They are to be banished to their television sets and their comfy chairs in their drab living rooms until someone wakes them up out of their time warp. Or better yet, until they can fully wake themselves up. I don’t have much time for evangelizing.
Maybe a few private social clubs would be in order to ease people’s transition into a topless, pot laced America. Who’s freedoms are being harmed by the practice of marijuana smoking, and topless gatherings? Should our nation be governed by such a conservative, approach that holds little to no merit? Is it an extension of some Christian paranoia that the world is going to hell in a hand basket and we must therefore take all measures to make sure people aren’t exhibiting signs of lewdness, debauchery and some kind of devil worship. We’ve all got our one lives to live and shouldn’t we spend that time enjoying our freedoms if they are not encroaching on the freedom’s of another? Why so many rules? This is America and America is founded upon not taking any shit, any unnecessary rules, and any tyrannical approach from anybody. Happy Birthday America, let’s continue to grow and be enlightened until the end of your days.
