Why Communism is No good
One of the great features of communism is protection. Which, in general, is a good thing, right?! I mean, protection gives you safety. Father state is doing everything to make your life as easy and uncomplicated as possible, in order to prevent you from the confusion, pain, consequences and not to forget the immense time consumption that variety of choice might bring you. Thus, we limit choice, prohibit variety, and the little citizens have a great and easy life because father state is taking those complicated choices for us. How nice.
Once again, I was standing in sheer frustration in front of the shelf for flu medicin in a norwegian pharmacy. In order to cure my sore throat, starting angina and preventing me from getting sicker, I had the fantastic choice between "Halspastiller", which have the great effect of making your throat a little less sore while sucking them, and Paracetamol. Oh, I forgot Aspirin. Yes, Halspastiller, Paracetamol and Aspirin. Where was the strong anti-flu medicin? This super-power cocktail mix of high quantities of Paracetamol, Vitamins, Coffein and alcohol - which knocks you out for the night but makes you feel fresh again after one or two days?! Where is my Grippostad, Finrexin or Wick MediNite?!?!?! Where is my choice? Yes, I know, father Norway decided for me that it is far less dangerous to lie in bed for two weeks, only taking on Aspirin each day, than to sink in the delirium of an intoxicating mix of high doses of vitamin, alcoholy and painkillers... Do I really have to mix that shit myself now? Bad enough that at this time of day, Vinmonopolet (the only place where you can get high percentage alcohol, though you have to be a millionaire to buy rum over 40%) is closed already. Where are the gas stations that sell alc 24/7?!?! I want variety. I f... want to take the damn choice myself, whether I want to poison my body with a medicin cocktail or not. I want pharmacies like in Mexico, where they sell you everything even without "usage description", where they sell you vitamin ampulles that make your heart race like Speedy Gonzalez...
Ok, at least give me a normal European country, where it at least is possible to buy Wick MediNite...
I want a French Yogurt shelf which has the size of a whole Norwegian supermarket. I want German gas stations that sell alcohol 24/7, ...
I want a great life, with zero downside - and zero someoneelseistakingchoicesforme!
I want FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!!!!!!
Damnit. No I'm gonna mix the tax-free rum I bought and some aspirin and some vitamins and then I will fall into a big drosy high, drift of dreaming - and rail a tiny bit more against the Norwegian state... ;-)
Oh, and I should remember telling my parents to send me a medication care package.
