Bong photo causes mother's arrest


Here is one from Florida to think about. The mother who posted this photo of her baby and a bong has been arrested for "possession of drug paraphernalia". The baby tested clean and the mother was not charged with any child abuse charges since the bong wasnt actually used but rather put their as a prop for the photo. The child is now in the care of the grandparents.

I am all for taking kids away from actual drug users...but the State doesnt do that in fact is regularly places children in the custody of known active drug users. It seems to me this law exists to screw up peoples lives for the sake of ..what? Now this mother has to hire a lawyer and taxpayers get to pay for her arrest. And hopefully the case will be thrown out but then she will prob sue the taxpayers for thousands of dollars.

Meanwhile we have wonderful stories like this where the State is giving back kids to screwballs only to find them starving to death 3 years later..and only finding that out after another child died.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
