I don’t even think of it as being “free”. Even half of the money spent on the US military in a year could probably be spent on food, shelter, clothing, education, and healthcare for the entire country and still have a lot left over. It’s the priorities of paying through the nose for stuff we don’t need instead of what we obviously do.

In a stunning coincidence, it seems that Australian police also recommend lightsabers for personal protection.
But at least it’s not another PopCherry ad. Has there ever been an online advertising fashion company that weren’t creepy slimeballs?

Why does she need to do anything he says? She didn’t do anything wrong and had every right to deny consent for medical treatment. They have no cause to detain her, and the exact moment when everything goes wrong is when the police officer grabs her when she’s riding her bike down the street.

Nah, they’d just float because they’re so full of grease.
