Murder plan may relieve anxiety levels
by Chris Taylor, editor-in-chief

    Everyone is trying to figure out what’s wrong with the world today. Blame has been placed on everything ranging from music to movies to books.

    It’s all getting way out of hand. When did we become such a narrow-minded and uptight society?

    Well, I have come up with a plan that should loosen things up some. Everyone at birth should be allowed to commit one homicide and get off completely scot-free.

    How will this help? Simple, if someone cuts you off in traffic and it makes you angry, you can use your free homicide on him or her. However, they may not have used theirs yet.

    This would make people think twice before acting rudely. Would you have the nerve to demand an apology over something stupid if the other person possibly had a free murder to use on you?

    Probably not. Of course, One free murder wouldn’t do me any good. If I eliminated every person that has irritated me, I would be in numbers that would rival Stalin.

    It sounds like I’m angry, but that’s not really the case. I’m just tired of this ultra-conservative world we live in. The majority of people in this world are extremely selfish and concerned only about themselves.

    If an undeclared war broke out today, we don’t have anyone who would fight against it. Most people are just content to act like sheep and be pushed around and told what to do.

    I blame the baby-boomers. Why? Most of them were hippies, and they wanted peace and freedom for everybody.

    That was then. Now these same people have allowed metal detectors in schools, curfews for teenagers and graduated driver’s licenses.

    Funny how they wanted freedom for themselves, but they don’t mind wrestling it from everyone else.

    Why are these alleged freedom-loving people burdening the rest of us with so many rules and regulations?

    Could it be they don’t want the kids of today doing the same things they did at that age? That’s what it seems like to me.

    And of course, we all have figured out that hippie is short for hypocrite.

    Instead of Baby Boomers, maybe we should call them party poopers because that’s what they are doing.
