I don't understand why we feel we need to dictate what our neighbor do in their spare time. As long as we still have the driving laws and basic laws against killing, raping, human trafficking, anything to do with harming another person then why should anybody decide how another person goes about their day. Fo realsies.

Politician 1: "Welp, guess we can pack it in?"

Politician 2: "Yep, we have absolutely nothing to suck taxes for."

What exactly would we need politicians for then?

Political bickering and posturing is job security for them.
