Quote:What slippery slope? I think it's vertical! Seat belt laws? No smoking on private property of resturants/bars? No smoking in your own car if you have children? Motorcycle helmet laws? No trans fats in fried foods? A ban on metel baseball bats? New York even has a law asking people to refrain from using the n-word. Warning labels on video games? Hey, but porn in the public library is a freedom of speech issue! New York City has a ban on bottle feeding babies to promote breast feeding. And, the Feds banned gambling on the internet. 22 States have bans that prevent teens from using tanning salons. Must I continue? I could fill a book! One chapter per state and we haven't even gotten to the intrusive ones yet!
Okay, okay, you've definitely got a point about metal baseball bats.:lol:
Joking aside, I agree the government goes a bit far in legislating common sense. And on that note, I think I'm going to go put on my black loafers with a brown belt before it's made illegal. Take that, gov!
