the nanny state in the USA. wish I could say it ain’t so Joe

 

1. I read an article where they conducted a poll in New York where this soda ban would affect the people and it showed that 53% of those polled disagreed with the soda ban.  What I have to ask is, what the hell are the 47% who do not think this new law is a bad idea thinking?  Is nearly half of new york so liberal or so weak minded that they think the govt should control every aspect of their lives?  I bet that if you looked at the same results of this poll one hundred years ago...80% would have said the govt has no business telling anyone what they should eat or drink and the final 20% would have beaten the poll taker up for even suggesting that the govt has this kind of power to begin with.

   Right on. And I honestly don’t see the humor in this decision that a few have written about.
   What will the do gooders decide is bad for us next? It does tend to anger one.
