I respectfully disagree. Government officials can make life a living hell for businesses which upset them. Suggesting a boycott is one thing, but to suggest to businesses that they "ban" something is a chilling suggestion. You just had a cigar explode in your face.

I respectfully disagree.

Your slippery slope argument is false. Government officials have every right of free speech to advocate voluntary actions by private citizens. Governments don't have a right to harass private citizens.

Take your exploding cigar and stick it appropriately.

Ok, bend over.

Now there's an intelligent argument. Do you even understand what a "slippery slope argument" is? Apparently not, since neither Enterprise or I made one.

I agree but who will stop them if they do? No one - and they will/can make you life a living hell. Ask the clinton victims who 'just happened' to have their taxes audited by the gov't.
