We all work within companies, whether we are employed there or are owners of them ourselves. Yet we all love and hate customers. Those customers that are, again by definition, ourselves. We are a customer more times in our existence than we are behind the counter. Yet we still become intolerant to their needs. Well, I've been known to anyway.
I manage, just like the rest of society, to demand freedom in my life. But I still panic and check my speed when there's a police car nearby. I see myself as a liberal-thinker in everything, and want people to do as they wish as long as they don't break the law. But I know that me saying that is totally fruitless.
I have spent the last few hours since dropping fuckdoll off at work, expanding my mind. Not through chemicals or such. But through documentaries and comedians that push boundaries. I like to do this from time to time to make me remember that I am alive. That I am not a sheep or worker ant to be dictated to by the mainstream, by the self-righteous or by the "norms" of society.
Yet, it seems that I am not as in control as I perceived.
We can all, as members of the world society, condem governments that controls its people through government-controlled news and restricted access to the internet (for example). But I think the only thing that the government is guilty of (in the eyes of it's peers) is bad PR.
The Australian government has recently, and quietly I might add, passed a law to restrict it's people's access to websites that it deems "unsuitable for classification". The standard list includes child pornography (of which, I am so overtly against in any form - the people who do such things should be drawn and quartered), and drug use (amongst other things that people wouldn't look for and then suddenly be offended by what they find).
Now, I'm not usually a political person in such an open forum, but I truly believe that I don't need to be saved by a bunch of limp-wristed pricks in government. This is also the same country that declared the small area that the government meet in as a different state to the rest of the country. And then they allow things in that area for the politicians that aren't allowed elsewhere (certain levels of pornography, fireworks etc). So, the politicians are allowed to see magazine racks full of articles about wearing rubber stockings while being flogged but I can't view information on the price of dope in another country? Or potentially be unable to watch something on an SM site?
Why?
Is it because, perhaps, they are so hell-bent in their own religious faith that they think that they are going to go to hell because they fucked their secretary up the ass over the office desk? Or maybe they feel bad that they don't have the spine to crack down upon all the priests and vicars that abuse alterboys right after holding the sunday mass that the politician attends with their families? Maybe if they save 20 million, hard-working, free-thinking Australians from having the chance to masturbate over a consenting adult engaging in a sexual act with another consenting adult then they will have their chance at the pearly gates?
Which brings me to stupid laws surrounding BDSM in this country. Who here thinks that SM is perfectly acceptable between adults that enjoy it? Come on, raise your free hands!
The courts in this country actually say it's not. They say that sex needs to be between CONSENTING and SANE adults. Yet they also say that no sane person can consent to an act that will cause them discomfort or pain. Yep, that's right.. If you are an Australian masochist, your government has declared that you are insane.
Wow.
A rather sweeping declaration from a group of people that, by their very nature also indulge in a bit of slap and tickle and lewd behaviour at the best of times.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to climb off my soap box and do what nature wanted me to do with my life - whatever I fucking want (as long as I don't break any laws).
