A Better Idea

Rating: 2.7


they want to
ban books, ban abortions
ban gay marriages
ban free thinking
and if they could
ban the poor!

ban the greedy
ban the judgemental
ban ignorance

and just for good measure
ban whaling around the world
for any reason!

I am no politician, and I only vote independent, but if you run for ANY office you'll surely have my vote.

Agreed. Ban the bad and rejoice in the good. There could be so many wonderful things in this world if we just stopped all the war, hate, greed etc.
