WRITE TO CONGRESS!!!!

Well, as you already "know", our horrible sinful immoral ways of porn-looking were what caused the hurricanes and the debachles in the middle east, and the problems with korea, and the starving children in the slums around the world, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic wiping out Africa, and the Tsunami, and. . .well, JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD!

It's obviously all caused by pictures of fake violence and nudity. I for one am ashamed for being part of the problem. But good thing all those pictures have been forced down. I'm sure now we'll see everything bad just melting away into happiness and bunnies.

WRITE TO CONGRESS!!!!

Dear [INSERT CONGRESSPERSON HERE],

I am writing you as a citizen of [INSERT DISTRICT HERE]. I am writing specifically because I am very concerned about the new wave of attorney general Alberto Gonzales's "War on porn", which seeks to target not just child pornography (which is reprehensible in every way and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law), but pornographic images and videos that depict consensual sexual acts between legal adults.

According to the Washington Post, Mr. Gonzales has ordered the FBI to target porn that features "includes bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior." I have no problem with authorities choosing to target pornographers who deal with material that is not consentual between both parties (child porn, bestiality, etc.), but when the government starts telling Americans what is acceptable for them to look at beyond those limitations, I am furious. I believe in freedom of speech, in freedom of the press and in freedom from governmental invasions of privacy. And I firmly believe that this new FBI task-force is simply the Bush Administration's new wave of morality police come to tell me what I can and can't do with my free time.

This is unacceptable in view of the First Amendment of course, but also because it is diverting key resources from more worthy fights for the FBI to undertake (such as the war on terror or homeland security for instance.)

I urge you as a leader in your party and a congressperson with a strong record on individual liberties to take congressional action on this issue and let Mr. Bush and Mr. Gonzales know that the American people will no longer tolerate intrusions into their personal sexual choices or their freedom of expression.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS]

This enrages me. This is stupid. I want the government to stop using my fucking money to fund stupid shit like this. Should we treat this like a kid who squanders his allowance on bubble gum?

<in parental scolding voice>
"Now government, if you're going to go waste your money that we gave to you and trusted you with on stupid things like this, we're going to have to stop giving you any until you learn some responsibility. Now apologize, put everything back the way you found it, and take out the trash. And check if there is any mail while you are out there too please."

Cost of questionable war in Iraq, over $200 BILLION.

Huricanes Ravage Gulf Coast:

Result:
over $200 BILLION to rebuild and put life back in order.

It's funny. Really, it is. It's funny because one of those $200 Billion has been spent already, the other still needs $200 Billion. But wait. . .from looking at those 2 pictures, I CAN'T TELL which already had $200 Billion of our money funnelled into it.
