PS. Leave primary food alone, but should eating second hand food in public ever become even slightly common, it should definitely be banned.

What you eat in complete privacy is your business. But I think eating second had food should constitute grounds for divorce. And while I'm not a fan of child safety services given some of their outrageous attempts to take kids away from parents for minor things, if the parent is eating second hand food, this is one case where child safety services ought to look real hard at whether the children are safe.

I hate it when a promising thread gets Zotted before I even get to read it.

Eating second hand food isn't the danger, it is the smelling of second hand food(gas).

You have convinced me that at some point a tax on the internet may be valid, considering lowering of other taxes. However, I would be more speculative than you could imagine and the appropriate reductions in other taxes would have to be in place before I would think it is right.


With regards to a technology lag (if I understood your point) or some other lag that a tax could help, I would have to disagree. If the tool no longer is as useful or productive as it once was, then most likely it is currently being replaced by another more productive and advanced tool. If a tax were used to prop it up, we would slow technological advances.
