Everything Is Wrong

Everything is wrong because of you and I. Everything is wrong because of lawyers. Everything is wrong because of a legal system which may correctly persuade rehabilitation through punitive measures, however, does the same in regard to lesser crimes: those of drug and alcohol, which merely require rehabilitation. Keeping a medical and spiritual problem in criminal (sign) jurisdiction is both a windfall and a curse for the government, Sure, local government gets more funding for the greater number of "criminals" they have to maintain (read: pocketmoney). However, the decay and secular regression such writs foster only serve to weaken the nation in entirety.

Everything is wrong because a quick look at something called the Freedom Index says America is only the tenth freest nation on Earth. If only we were so fortunate. Everything is wrong because Chicago is installing 2,000 cameras on its streets. Everything is wrong because Orwell was only off by 20 years. Everything is wrong because we as a species, knowing the damage we can do, refuse to merely have a respect for life and each other's right to think what we think or feel how we feel. Everything is wrong. Everything is wrong because there is no one to blame but ourselves for the crosses we bear. I should know, I'm one of you.
