Who Died and Made Them Boss.
The United States government sounds very hypocritical when it points the finger at all Communist ideologies by telling them they control the lives of their citizens, when the U.S is doing the exact same act. Our constitution has set up many laws that make perfect sense, and exist for a very good purpose. However, any laws that do not make sense, and cannot cause harm to others, should not exist. When I think of these issues, three situations come to mind. Being forced to wear your seat belt, forbidden to smoke marijuana in your own home, and being forced to leave your home, are each laws that make no sense at all. These situations are harmless to society, and therefore should not exist. Smoking marijuana can only cause harm to the person that is smoking it. The government should not be able to tell you what to do, unless it causes harm to another person. Who are they to tell you what to do in your own home. A website called www.norml.com states that, "Possession of marijuana, any amount is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $2,000."

People don't always need Big Brother watching over them, and making sure they do everything right. It is their life and they can do whatever they want with it. People don't need a government to tell them what to do. Smoking in a car, is a different story. Marijuana impairs your vision, and your ability to react. Not having these every day skills, can endanger the lives of other drivers, so smoking while driving should be considered a crime. Smoking in your own house or on your own property, however, should not be illegal, because it is your land, and you can do whatever you want to your own brain. A government that tries to legislate morality, obviously must feel the need to tell their citizens what to do. Just don't drive a car. People just want to drive down the high way in peace, and not have to worry about a thousand laws that they MUST obey. Speaking of high ways, they don't just fall out of the sky to please your driving needs. They take years to build, and new ones vacate a lot of land. When a highway is built, peoples lives are destroyed. It is imperative that you move your home, so they can put a block of cement on top of it. It's not that bad though, they pay for your house, and you get to move somewhere else. Well, if you wanted to live somewhere else, you would have moved there in the first place. Your house is where you want it, and you shouldn't have to move it for anyone, inclu
