Eternal Punishment

I for one don't believe in Hell, at least not in the sense that you go there forever. I really can't see how anyone could possibly do something so bad, or series of bad things in one lifetime to warrant eternal punishment. I say this, because forever is a long time. I know this because I've made vows twice to stay married...forever.

I have decided, though, that there are some offenses that do deserve eternal punishment and if I ever get elected supreme celestial being then these people better look out.

The first are people who knowingly speed through school zones. I say knowingly, because we've all done it accidentally before, but in my book this warrants an unintentional face mask 5 yard penalty instead of the more harsh intentional variety that leads to a 15 yard walk off. So you accidentals aren't off the hook, you'll pay too, just not eternally. Since these rules won't be in effect until I take office, I successfully avoid my own prosecution.

The second group is people who for some reason don't or can't use the turn signal. I suspect that this group is largely made up of the first group, but my research is still awaiting peer-review. I feel strongly there are no accidentals in this group. You make that conscious decision to be a prick, either because your life is vastly more important than the other drivers on the road and you can't be inconvenienced by trivialities, or perhaps you're just too cool to blink. Again, the same rules apply to me, so I'm off the hook. That is unless these guidelines are already in effect under the current administration, then I'm fucked like the rest of you.

Oh, wait, I thought of another group. The masochistic sons a bitches that decided there needed to be an effect and an affect in our vocabulary.
