Just Wondering

 

With the toughest drinking

And driving laws in Canada,

One wonders why BC still

Calls for X number of parking

Stalls at pubs and bars?

With prostitution being legal,

Why is it illegal to live off

Of the avails of prostitution?

Isn’t that like saying that it’s

Legal to be a surgeon, but

That it’s illegal to operate?

We know that smoking and

Second hand smoke are deadly

And costly to society, why

Do governments relish in

Collecting large amounts

Of taxes on these products,

Then suing the manufacturers

To recover health care costs?

Perhaps it should be illegal

For law makers to dream up

And pass laws, maybe they

Should be assigned to manage

The parking stalls at pubs and bars.
