[Substituting for Raven while he drives]
"This better be good." - Raven
4:45 pm on I-24 east just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, also known as Darwin's Waiting Room.
Since most of you people have had to suffer through Raven's long winded, self absorbing commentaries, I thought that I might just lend you great fans [Shameless suck-up - Editor's Note*] of the skirted one some simple opinions on current topics, both in and out of wrestling.
On gay marriage: So the gay couple living two doors down in apartment 2B is now the gay married couple living two doors down in apartment 2B. If somebody could tell me how that has any effect on yours or my life, I'd like to hear it. Gay marriage has to be the single most controversial non-event in our country. Let them pay for their marriage license like everybody else, but let them pay more. Just kidding. The only problem I have with the gay marriages is how do we define a gay couple? To me, it seems homosexuality would be defined as having anal intercourse with your partner. I just hope we dont see the day when the couple actually has to prove their gayness by performing their homosexuality before the justice of the peace. Bottom line, let them marry so Raven can finally have a partner some day [Hardee har har, are we already resorting to third grade tactics this soon? - Editor's Note].
The crackdown on the gays is all because it's an election year - Editor's Note.
On steroid issues: I am currently bring accused of taking steroids. I would submit to a steroid test right now if somebody wanted to pay for it to prove that I'm clean [Nobody cares - Editor's Note] The goverment has decided to intervene into the world of professional baseball, saying that it's ruining the competitive balance and that it is "un-american." Funny how when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire were squashing Babe's records [Not the talking pig - Editor's Note], everyone was talking about how great it was for the game. Does anyone really give two craps if players are taking steroids? I mean, did the government just turn on their TV sets and realize that there is a prominent steroid issue in sports? Anyone with a naked eye can plainly see that "a lot" of pro athletes are on "the gas." Enough so, that there is a competitive balance. The problem with steroids isn't that it creates a competitive imbalance, the problem is they're illegal. Steroids are illegal because society doesn't need a bunch of juiced-out freaks out in public, the bars, or whatever roid-raging and causing violence and beating the guy that bumped into him at the club to a pulp. Steroids should be treated like every other illegal substance. It's anyone's personal choice to do it, but they should also be prepared for the consequences. If you drive 75 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone, you have to deal with the consequences of getting caught speeding [Dumb analogy - Editor's Note]. If you eat Big Mac's every day, you deal with the consequences of getting fat [Even dumber analogy - Editor's Note]. If you take steroids. You deal with the consequences of getting caught with an illegal substance. I'm not going to sit here and tell people what choices they make with their lives, they should know what the consequences are. If baseball players want to risk taking the gas and the government wants to get involved, there should be provisions in the drug testing policy that would deal with the legalities of being caught for drug possession.
The crackdown on juice monkeys is because it's an election year - Editor's Note
Raven's Log Supplemental
Stardate: 3.18.04
And now for something interesting from a more well-rounded, intelligent social commentator ... namely, me.
I believe all drugs should be legal. Who is the government to say what someone can or cannot put in their bodies? Maybe next week, they'll decide that caffeine is no good for you [which it isn't] and tell you you can't have caffeine with your morning coffee. First of all, alcohol is as big a drug as anything else. They tried making that illegal during prohibition and the country revolted. It was repealed very quickly. Whether you like drugs or not, is not the point. If people want to do drugs, they're going to find them. It's very easy. Hell, if you can't find drugs, youre an idiot. So instead of waging the war on drugs and costing the country billions of dollars, why don't we just legalize drugs and tax them? That way, not only do you save the money that is spent on the war on drugs, but you also get the profits from taxing it. The country would no longer be in debt and actually be profitable. In addition, all of the criminals who sell drugs will be put out of business. Organized crime gained its stronghold in this country during prohibition. I think you see my point. Criminals go out of business, money is saved and earned. Is there any downside to this? No, there is no downside. If you look at countries where drugs have been decriminalized, the crime rate is so much lower than the U.S., its ridiculous. I don't think that if drugs are legal that people are going to flock to them. I think if people wanted to do drugs, they'd already be doing them. People are going to find drugs whether you want them to or not so we might as well make them legal and control them.
Guest Rebuttal [Disco]
The only people I've ever heard that want to legalize drugs are drug addicts.
Editor's Rebuttal to the Guest Rebuttal
Strong words from the guest rebuttalist considering he used to mooch my somas when "his back hurt."
Guest Rebuttal to Editor's Rebuttal to the Guest Rebuttal
Somas are prescribed for back pain. They're not an illegal substance.
Editor's Rebuttal to Guest Rebuttal to ... ahh, screw it
They are illegal when taken by someone who they weren't prescribed for.
Nyah Nyah .. Na Na Na ...
