California tries to legislate happiness and forms a committee to help

You can make me happier. Start sawing the state off at the border.

Having the "Law makers" take a swig of this would probably be a good start for some.

Cali .. Remove all Taxes infringing laws ..

Oh no... no way.
That would be far too quick and painless.


I would like to see the "lawmakers" go out like Mel Gibson's character in Braveheart.

That’s a weird ironic juxtaposition, isn’t it? William Wallace fought for freedom, the dirty poles are railing against it. But Freedom was ultimately the downfall of both.

Free pew pew sample boxes delivered to your door. Come along Kiddie Winkies, I've got lots of goodies for you and allll freeee todaaaay. There would be no better use of tax payer dollars and no better way to advance the pursuit of happiness. Imagine the cases, the variety packs, the bonus packs, the people with hand trucks wheeling them to your door! If we could then shorten the work week to 4 days where every Thursday would be free pew pew delivery day while we are at work and every Friday would become range day at the state provided and maintained ranges within 15 minutes walking distance from our homes with free shuttle service, door prizes for attending, free hors d'oeuvres, free 2A tee shirts, climate controlled indoor ranges, long range outdoor ranges, pistol pits, skeet and trap and a free to try gun lending library. Oh the joy on every face and happiness in every heart. I pledge to everyone if elected that I will endeavor to persevere in make this my sole mission. Thank you very much.

This is really disappointing.

It makes me sad.

Happiness comes from within. It cannot be delivered by government. This is not a radical new idea, it has been around for centuries. Why are the people that supposedly "govern" us so ignorant of this basic fact?

I would think if they (politicians) walked off the top of a skyscraper that's be a start .

That's a loaded question, right?

How about...they're morons, Marxists, shitweasels, retards, flaming assholes, braindead, delusional, socio/psychopaths, crayon eaters, always rode the "short bus", IQs below room temperature Celsius, walking dumpster fires, brain-addled, 2-cans short of a 6-pack, they were bred and born in Crazyfrutopia.....

Did I mention shitweasels?

Yes it does but I would like to add this stop drinking stop taking all those drugs, and find God that was my solution.

I think the most disturbing part is he watched the same documentary for nearly 17 hours over the course of two days. There is some mental illness going on there.
I guess I can see watching something a second time to garner details, but why 14 times?

They think they can "tell" you to be happy 1984 style. They are fucking psychopaths - completely disconnected from reality. They don't understand that different people have different needs and different sources of happiness. For me and you it might be some pew pew time at the range, a few beers, and a dinner with good friends or my kids. For them it might be watching a gay cake baking competition and getting dressed up in women's lingerie. They for some reason don't understand that what makes them happy doesn't make everyone else happy.

I know what makes people happy - freedom. The freedom to do the things that make you happy, whatever they happen to be.

So I did this radical thing, and I read the article. (Not that you didn't, just saying in totality of how these things typically go.)

I agree they don't get it. They want to suggest really specific things as if this was the sims, but they're failing to back off and remember the macro.

1. I want to feel safe when I sleep.
2. I want jobs to be plentiful so I can always earn my way.
3. I don't want people to watch me constantly, especially not the government.

2 is tricky, but 1 and 3 the government should be able to do. If they can't keep people safe, and stay out of our business, then they've failed at their primary job. And make no mistake, they are far below a passing grade.

I read it too, which is why I responded the way I did. What makes them happy doesn't work for me. Not to say that it doesn't work for them, but happiness isn't a "one size fits all" thing.

From the article: the keys to happiness are nurturing strong interpersonal and communal relationships; leading a life that includes meaning

They can Fuck off. I don't want community relationships. I live and moved away from people because I don't want lots of community. I want people to leave me the fuck alone, the fewer around me the happier I am. I desire for my interactions with strangers to be transactional. My life doesn't need a grand meaning to be happy. I'm happier not pursuing some ideological nirvana.

The 'G', all thing to all mankind!
What wad of shit.
