| 11. but you know the most fundamental principle about drug |
|
restrictions is simply, "it is my body and no one has a right to tell me what I can ingest into it." It is that simple. I saw a young kid with a goat-tee of nails stuck through his chin!!! Real nails somehow coming out of his chin. And of course, he was tatted out the ass and had those hideous rings in his ear-lobes that I thought were only seen in National Geographic magazines. I gasped and I am under 25!
Though I thought what he did to his body is insane, do I have a right to tell him not to hammer nails through his lower lip?
