Stress Free Not for Me

I recently read in some news article that studies show that prolonged lack of stress causes memory to.....What was I saying?

Oh. Right.

Recent studies show that a bit of stress causes people to remember with greater clarity. I am not surprised. Like a good number of human (and at-large) characteristics, it's best to have something in small amounts than too much or not at all.

A 40-year long study found that a few ounces of alcohol per day increase life span an average of 4 to 5 years. Once again, small amounts.

I wonder when they'll "discover" positive effects of tobacco?

Regardless the problem occurs because studies may show, and honest education (i.e. without the blatant agenda of shit-fuckery) might help guide people to actually be responsible, but the state forces the exact opposite of responsibility.

From subsidizing college-age drinking binges to giving incentive to the least among us to order us in our daily lives, to engaging in open war against its own people for plants and chemicals that are not used as weapons. (ok, a syringe might, but then let's ban hospitals): Everyone would be a lot better off and have a better access to responsibility and all the rewards it could engender, if we just stopped listening to dipshits with badges.

Laws are MAGIC!!!!
