Hi there!
Imminent Domain for instance? It's getting real bad!!
No, computers designed by grownups ruled the world.
One kid threw a hissy fit, and all the other kids joined in.
You know, if Kellogg stops advertising, and my kids stop eating their bowls of vitamin fortified cereals and the MILK that goes along with them, I may have to sue CSPI. They are putting my children at risk for osteoporosis and stunted growth!
Oh that's another movie then. This one had an 18 year-old male running the works! And when someone turned 30 years old, they were killed off.
Well said!
Well, when six year olds go out and buy cereal with their own money, the argument might be appropriate.

I'm a smoker so I know all about it. It was sarcasm but only 40% so.
Years ago we tried to warn the dumbasses that had the attitude I described but they didn't listen. Now the chicken are roosting in their yards. Screw 'em!
Thank you! I know it was quite some time ago. But I still remember it, especially today when everything is "For The Kids."
Speaking of Imminent Domain, did you see the article in the NY Post today regarding the NY Times?

Excerpt:
January 19, 2006 -- IT can't be easy covering commercial real estate for The New York Times. Even the most cautious Times journalist wades into a minefield of issues of mortal importance to the newspaper's bottom line and public image. Those issues all relate to the Times Co.'s own plunge into the real-estate business with developer Bruce Ratner, the Times' partner in its new headquarters under construction on Eighth Avenue between 40th and 41st streets.
A smart Times reporter will try to step between the mines: Avoiding the controversies over the paper's relocation insulates a writer from internal interference and outside scrutiny. Occasionally, however, the Times headquarters project must be part of a story for it to make any sense. When such a story still omits the project, it makes for embarrassing reading. What will Byron Calame, the Times' "Public Editor," make of yesterday's long page C5 story on the nationwide debate over eminent domain ignited by a recent Supreme Court ruling?
"Developers Can't Imagine a World Without Eminent Domain," said the headline. True enough. But it ought to have read, "Times Can't Imagine a World Without Eminent Domain."
Years ago we tried to warn the dumbasses that had the attitude I described but they didn't listen. Now the chicken are roosting in their yards.
It's just like that saying "When they came for the Jews." And someday somewhere everyone is going to be hit by some nanny do-gooder government group that is chipping away our freedoms.
I sure wish I had an answer. I guess it takes money. aaarrrrgggghhhhhh
Anytime you see the Center for Science in the Public Interest, or CSPI, in an article, send up a red flag. These folks are the whackos who rail against Mexican food, theater popcorn, French fries, etc.
(I had a feeling I spelled Eminent wrong. Oh well).
It's just hard for me to believe that when a person owns their own property or business, they still run the risk of losing it to the government. What kind of world are we living in!
I'm thinking of starting up my own organization. I'll call it I'm A Compulsive Pantload Who Has A Psychologically Twisted Need To Tell Everyone Else In America What To Do And How To Live. It's not exactly a catchy name, but at least we'd have the virtue of being the only such organization in the country that's honest.
Cereals were created as health food... now they call it junk food!
Cereal should be banned full stop - it turns kids into vegetarians! What you need to do is to feed the cereal to animals and then eat them for breakfast. Full English for me please - 2 eggs, 3 rashers of wiltshire farm cured back bacon, 2 thick lincolnshire sausages, 2 thick fried pieces of best lancashire black pudding, fried slice, mushrooms fried in the bacon fat with two rounds of white toast from the village bakery spread with butter from the local farm and washed down with a strong, steaming mug of tea. Now that's breakfast! :)
And you can buy it or not. But we do not need self-anointed saviors to sue in our name. That sugar cereal is harmful has not been proved. It might be as nutritional as the maker says it is.
Surely this "consumer" protection group has not made a scientific finding or they would use it in their threat to sue Kellogg.
Another small group of malcontents with too much time on their hands.
