Always a smokescreen to take away your rights. Epstein plead guilty in 2008 to trafficking children to nobody.

Anything and everything that politicians propose to protect children, I am automatically against. It doesnā€™t matter how good it sounds, if they say anything about protecting children, Iā€™m opposed to it.

This is because they know that ā€˜protect childrenā€™ are magic words that let them get away with almost anything, and thatā€™s genuinely about the only time they say that anyway. Basically nothing the government does is actually to protect children.

We had a recreational marijuana referendum in my state and the opposition signs said, ā€œSave the Children.ā€ From what? I have no idea. Unsurprisingly, the vote failed.

Of course, it really helped that the state legislature sued to halt the referendum on grounds of improper procedure which caused the referendum to be put on the ballot as a special election instead of the mid-terms ballot. The judge dismissed the lawsuit, by the way.

The shit some people will do to stop other people from having a good time.
