Sep 2013

so according to GD this morning we need to disband police, severely restrict or ban personal firearms ownership, declare sugar a drug (though there will be no police to enforce that law) and ban violent video games

On the positive side, many of us will have fairly affordable health insurance, freedom from government thugs and a murder rate near zero.

have I missed anything?
