People like weeds

Weeds, in this country at least, are illegal. Nowhere can you buy dandelion seeds. In fact, we take calculated measures to eliminate and prevent these plants that just go spreading their seed willy-nilly. The very plant we refer to as "weed" is illegal. Legally, you can't buy it, you can't grow it, you can't ingest it. And yet, there are people who behave exactly like these purportedly despicable plants; spreading their seed all over the place despite the fact that nobody asked for it -- nobody wants them to, they just do. It's perfectly legal. See when it's people behaving this way, we reward them with television contracts like 19 & Counting or Jersey Shore. I'm not saying we should necessarily take the same course of action on these people as we do weeds. What I am saying is that, if these people are legally allowed to exist and even thrive, then so to should weed. And believe me, I'm really not picky about which way we go with that legislation.
