Quote:However, some people apparently lack perspective, and you appear to be one of them. Worse than prohibition? Earth to planet Kandrathe...And, I perceive you are one of those boiling frogs who will not notice when the water becomes lethal. We shall see dear Jester. I'm not going to be silent and watch the cage being built around me as I'm losing liberties one bar at a time. Welcome to the USSA, and here is your chief nanny in our new NANNY state. Here is a commentary on the appearance of the spokesperson for the Nanny in Chief. I also want to ask, "Is that Hemp behind her?"

"I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal?" -- Edgar Friendly
The government is telling us what we can or cannot buy. You know, it's for your own good. We are over regulated to the point where the best thing, in my opinion, that Congress can do now is nothing.
THIS, and THIS are examples of the society we live in! Wake up! It sucks! I'm not the only one to notice. Here is a proposal by a congressman in NJ to ban rule making that would hurt business for the next 18 months. They've begun to see an exodus in NJ, as has California. I guess over regulation and high taxes will motivate corporations to look for friendlier ground.
