I see no real benefit in what is, in effect, the gradual extension of "supermax" prison rules to the rest of society. Do they really long for the good ol' days of Ghengis Khan when those who wanted to chop their meat for dinner had to use a single communal knife chained to a block, under the eyes of a soldier? It's why Chinese food is traditionally served in bite-size pieces.
Is this what these overeducated numbskulls want for us?
P!ss on them. The only difference between a bread knife and a weapon is a few minutes with a grinder.
Is it true that chop sticks came about because all the eating untensils were taken away for fear the peasents would use them as weapons?
"It's why Chinese food is traditionally served in bite-size pieces."
I thought it was because: (1) the emporer did not want to see that it recognizably came from an animal and (2) for limited fuel reasons, they cooked in woks, which necessitates little pieces.
