Let's take it a step further:
- Let's ban the ownership of pets (makes the pet sale issues go away)
- Let's ban the ownership of private property (pets should not be owned as property - in fact we shouldn't own anything - it should be shared communally)
- Let's ban the right of freedom of choice (if you don't own anything there is no purpose in having choices)
- Let's ban the right of freedom of speech (if you don't need to make choices, you don't need to talk about them)
There see - we have achieved Socialist Nirvana! The government will tell you what to do, think and say. All you have to do is live your life... according to their rules. Enjoy. We are slowly but surely trending toward a 1984 revolution and our society is too apathetic to care.
