New years resolutions

quick post before I move onto Blackburn for day 2 of New Year Mess 2013 (last night was awesome, tonight's got a tough time on its hands beating that) anyway, to business:

It’s New Year’s EVE! and a happy 2013 to you all,
It’s the time of year we start setting “new year’s resolutions ” for ourselves;
“I want to be fitter”, “I want more money”, “I want to be happier”, ”I’ll drink less”, “I’ll eat more healthily”,  “I will get project x done”, “I’ll do better in school/college/uni” … “I will do more for other people”… oh, wait, not many (if any) of you will use that last one :’)

All you hear, day in, day out, is what people want for themselves! Well here’s what I want
from 2013;
I WANT people who are sick to be healed
I WANT children with no families to be adopted and loved
I WANT people to never have to worry about food, or shelter again
I WANT peace in the middle east
I WANT our armies to be DISBANDED
I WANT free will to be a real thing again
I WANT you all to wake up
But most of all, I WANT you SELFISH sons of bitches to START caring about YOUR fellow MAN!

WE are ALL of the SAME earth
WE ALL came from the SAME source
WE are ONE
Regardless of: Gender, sex, race, sexuality, religion, opinions, nationality and intelligence.
The sooner you people realize that the better this world will be.

Sincerely
A Misanthropist

LIAM!

OUT!

 

The cost to tax payers of your "War On Drugs"

there are an estimated 50k - 75k (for sake of minimization all figures are calculated off 50k ) people in British prisons due to their involvement in cannabis this makes up approximately 58.77% of the total British prison population in 2010 (85,000 inmates) , it costs the British tax payer £41,000 PER YEAR to house ONE inmate, this means that of the £36'285'000'000 ( thirty-six billion two hundred eighty-five million) every year of YOUR taxes, a WHOPPING £2'050'000'000 (two billion fifty million) is spent keeping people who have: been caught with cannabis, been caught dealing cannabis, (obviously a lot will have other charges as well) locked up because they are seen as a "danger" to society. This is £32.72 per year for every inhabitant of the United Kingdom (assuming everyone pays taxes, which they don't) that goes to keeping cannabis users locked up

Not only is the war on drugs pointless, and failing, (many people still choosing to use the "real thing" despite the availability of many "legal highs" that mimic the effects of most narcotics) it is a MASSIVE drain on the tax payers, just in keeping the ones that were caught off the streets,

This is before you consider the money spent on the man hours spent trying to track down and arrest these "dangerous criminals"

the whole reason why the drug trade has BECOME such a dangerous and seedy industry is because the government won't take responsibility for it.
If recreational drugs were to be legalized, they could be controlled and the purity of the drugs will be constant country wide (i.e, no rat poison cut with coke, no sprayed weed, no heroin cut with god knows what) also, it would give the government the ability to TAX these products, creating a new source of income. (which i, personally am against, but the government are always looking to make money off us some how)
