ok, this is the height of stupidity:

apparently, its not enough to just bust people out walking drunk. houses of drunkery are now targeted. this is just fucking ludicrous. i understand that there are desires to prevent things like drunken driving, but give me a fucking break. ive lived in iv enough to see the true side of most alcohol enforcement:1) morality related reasons; and more importantly 2)money money money. what happened to the country that was founded on the "leave me the fuck alone and mind your own god damn business" principle? while i may be on the far left in most cases, personal actions such as this im a huge privacy/personal responsiblity person. leave your morals the fuck out of my laws. and if you want/need more money, bite the fucking bullet and raise taxes instead of keeping them at an artifically low level. one more reason to hate regan: he 'proved' massive deficet spending is 'ok'. another reason to hate bush: he makes these rediculous tax cuts durring his first term, then goes up in his most recent state of the union and implores congress to make the tax cuts permentant, saying that if they dont people will be confronted with a tax raise they arent expecting and dont need. ok, nobody really likes a tax raise. but its unexpected because you passed a tax cut that would never work in the long run! how long will it be before people realize trickle down economics dont work! the wealthy are going to take the money they make and spend it in ways that will make them richer. if a company becomes more profitable, most are not going to pass that money on to the consumer, or there employees. the twentieth century was first about how to cut down on the need for employees, then it was the race to find where there were cheaper ones. speaking of cheap labor, bush actually had the balls to say this in a press conference with regards to his guest worker program(ie, making illegal aliens(read:mexicans) register to work here: 'If you are doing a job that Americans won't do, you're welcome here for a period of time to do that job.' hes got the balls to say that yeah, we dont wanna do it. so come in, do the shitty job, then get the fuck out. no benefits for your hard work. we need it done, wont do it ourselves, so we will let you come in, but we dont really want you here.

wow, havent gone on a rant like that in awhile. pretty rambing. booze to money to labor politics.
