Sometimes I get so frustrated at the way the governments,federal and provincial(state in US)are poking their noses into every thing we do and say.We live in a world that is increasingly more controlled in every aspect of life and yet there seems to be a new law being either introduced or debated every day.I was reading the paper today and there was an article that informed the readers that the officials in Iran had taken 5 thieves and amputated their hand.Now,in that part of the world they don't have access to things like napkins and toilet paper and people eat with one hand and wipe their asses with the other.Losing a hand would,therefore be a real quandary for the poor criminal that lost the wrong hand.Just something to think about the next time you get pissed or depressed about the way they enforce drug laws in our countries.
