The exaggerated exaggerations of a daily life.

The Bill of Bosses

First post huh? It doesn't feel too special I suppose. So here's basically my life in words, probably greatly novelised. If you find some similarities with daily life: yours or someone else's that you know, let me assure you that any resemblance to actual people or events are purely fictionalised and lies. No one featured in this blog will be a real person and they will all be constructions/fabrications what will you of my mind. That being said, I'd like to point out that the sentence last was actually complete lies. All blogs feature daily lives. That's why the voyeuristic people read them, to get into the mind of someone else, to feel what they feel, read how they write, think, etc, or even (and these are the weird people) because they are bored.

Procrastination is one of the reasons why I made this blog, but also to improve my writing a bit more. So I'm in the midst of this final essay on the normative legal system in Australia. Now you who live in the USA have it easy. You have a Bill of Rights, which is basically like a gigantic wall. Think the final boss in an RPG, or perhaps Colossus from X-Men. He's the guy you try to make some legislation or law, or interpret it to make a judgement. Then BANG! You hit this wall of absoluteness. You can't go past or around it, so the only thing you do is fight it.

This Bill of Rights is kinda like the final boss in Morrowind when you don't have the final items. (To readers not aquainted with this it goes like this: Big enemy guy, looks evil. Only way to kill him is to find two cursed items hidden around the world, hit him a few times with them, then hit his gigantic robot, then finally kill him. Difficult to do. Especially since without the cursed weapons you do nothing at all to him. 0 Damage.)

Abortion for instance, your Supreme Court (kinda like the mini-boss just before the Final Boss Chamber) ruled that "Abortion is legal." Now this is massively different to other countries which had to go through years of painful dungeon-crawling and level-grinding to get to that point. You'd think, "Wooo! Go women's rights!" (Well, some of you would. Others would be shouting, "Murderers!" at the tops of their lungs.) But in ways this is not good. Presidents have based their campaigns on not accepting to the post of Supreme Judge any candidate who does not vote either for or against overturning the law.

This is how it works: Your president and senators (who're like the game designers) have made this awesome game, including a Final Boss (The Bill of Rights). The only way you can defeat this boss is by finding magical items to slay him with (the Supreme Court Judges). Unfortunately due to a miscalculation on their part, the game has gone out of control and the magic items have vanished. So you try to get your customers (voters) to let you bring in some new items to kill off the Final Boss. But of course, you have to be careful. Changing data in the game this late in development risks creating software glitches and bugs. And worst of all, killing the Final Boss ends the game.

And no one wants this game to end.

So what can you as people do? Go for that Bill of Rights, stand up for the Final Boss and join his ranks of evil minions. Fight the hero, because all the hero is interested in doing is slaying the ultimate force in the game and ruining the fun for everyone else.
