I've been staying out of this DNA thing since I said my piece about the gun
registry. However, this message made me want to answer.
You say weak accusations. While I don't think that they are weak, we are
talking about the government. You don't need strong accusations with them.
If there is some way they can benefit from it, either financially, or by
exerting more control, they will use it.
This is the same institution that has been insinuating itself into your
home, your work place, and your way of life for over 50 years. They are only
getting better at it.
If you assume for a moment that the gun registry is anything but either a
piss poor mistake, or the first step toward banning and confiscation than
you are as deluded as the majority of people.
A DNA database suggests whole new possibilities for control, regulation, and
discrimination all under the guise of the public good. Hey, you don't want
to insure people who are susceptible to a genetic illness, they drive up
costs for everyone else.
Look, this guy has genetic tendencies that suggest he may be prone to
violence, we better keep tabs on him in case he does something.
Sweet jesus, this guy's DNA is similar to the DNA of a known pedophile, go
pick him up right away.

Allow the government to take a few nibbles at your rights and freedoms, and
you set the stage for them to continue doing it.
You can't ride a bicycle without a helmet, you can't own a gun without
locking it, then locking it away, and then locking up the bullets somewhere
else. Then there are handguns, and that's even worse. A criminal doesn't
give a fuck about the laws, he'll be in your house and perhaps raping your
daughter in front of you all at the end of a gun. Since you can't have a gun
at the ready, you run a greater risk if you choose to defend your home and
family. All in the name of the public good.
A gun registry reduces crime? It allows the identification of a weapon?
Since when? What idiotic moron would believe this? The majority of guns used
in crimes are stolen, or never registered in the first place.
The registry won't tell an officer if there is a weapon present, it won't
lead to the killer. It will just lead to a poor bastard who becomes a
suspect because he lost a gun. Add DNA, and now all of a sudden, you have a
smoking gun, found at the scene of a crime and it has DNA that shows the
"owner" had the gun. In the minds of the great unwashed that's enough to
make a conviction.
You damn near can't smoke anywhere now. You might think that is fine because
you are a non-smoker, but that still infringes MY rights. Yes, I have a
right to smoke around you, get freaking used to it. See, even the laws that
the new anti smoking bill were enacted under are only meant to prevent
IMMEDIATE dangers to health and safety. I don't give a care what you think,
but some guy in a restaurant smoking isn't an immediate danger to your
health or safety. Further, even 30 people isn't an immediate danger.
We are living in an age of political correctness, and mis-information. Spin
doctoring, and law suits. Companies print silly warnings on boxes and
packages because if some dumb asshole irons his clothes while he is wearing
them, he's likely to sue. Pardon me, but this brain dead fuck shouldn't get
one red cent if he is that fucking stupid.
Then onto the lady who sued McDonalds because she spilled her HOT coffee
into her crotch. What the hell was that about? It's coffee, you were maybe
expecting it to be COLD? More to the point, what were you doing sitting it
between your thighs? You're pussy a little cold lady?

So, now we have laws to protect us from ourselves. Made up by people who
can't even make up their mind. Case in point, the Nova Scotia MLA who said
one day he wouldn't register his gun as a form of protest, and then the next
day says he has to do his duty as a public servant and follow the laws
whether he likes them or not. Ah yes, the old party two step.
Idiots like to scream that Trudeau is the anti-christ because he legalized
abortion. They're full of crap, and Trudeau was right. The state has no damn
business in the bedrooms of the nation. He decriminalized birth control and
abortion so that proper family planning could be done, and women would be
allowed to have control over their bodies. A right which no man ever
questioned.
Now, all of a sudden the government doesn't want back into your bedroom, it
wants into the most private parts of your body. The very code that makes up
your cellular structure. The basis of everything that makes you who you are.

You think for a moment that you can trust them to not abuse this information
in one form or another? You think that they won't find a way to profit from
it, or to discriminate services from you based on this or that in your
genetic code? You're dreaming.
The reason for this? You already let them take small nibbles at your rights.
You're let them tell you how to live, and behave, and made you your
brother's keeper. Now, they are getting ready to take bites, and not
nibbles.

When that time comes, you better hope that there are enough people out there
who didn't believe the lies to come to your rescue. Although, come to think
of it, if you thought you needed it, maybe you do after all.
Be careful, in a few months, you won't be able to eat a steak, because red
meat is bad for your health. Your poor health could cause you to have a
heart attack while driving your car, and you could kill someone. We wouldn't
want that now would we. So, put down that knife and fork. Better yet, give
me the knife, because you could use that as a weapon, and hurt someone. We
wouldn't want that now would we?
