BTW, I meant to applaud your assessment of this issue as stated in post 128: “It’s not the courts or the Gubmint’s job to protect her. It’s mine.”

Very well said.

Thanks. There is no way for Gubmint to protect her from every Pakistani street merchant roasting chestnuts and peanuts on the streets of NY or any other city. (if King Bloomberg was as committed to ridding NYC of peanut vendors as he was of ridding the city of smokers, he could probably do it. Just threaten the councilmen that he would support their opponent with his billions in the upcoming election)

I was a at a comedy club a few months ago for a friends’ engagement party. The “comedian” had a joke that was similar in nature to yours. “If a bite of a Snickers bar is enough to kill you, than you should do the world a favor and take yourself out of the gene pool.”

I looked at my wife, waiting for her to charge the stage with her steak knife. She laughed it off. And she is more hysterical about this than I am.
