First it was a proposed ban on plastic bags.
Now, a member of the influential Madison Plan Commission wants to ban the restaurant drive-through -- or at least restrict the ubiquitous symbol of America's auto-centric lifestyle.

From the article:
“”Given the concern about all the carbon going into the atmosphere, I’m not sure we should be building more places for people to sit idling in their cars,” says Eric Sundquist, who was appointed to the citizen panel by Mayor Dave Cieslewicz this spring.:”
Well that’s great! So when we do we ban rush hour traffic jams?
Stalin would be so proud...
They’re starting to drop the veil and show their true agenda -
the banning of the personal automobile.
They don’t want you to have individual freedom of travel, folks. You can’t be controlled easy enough.
We should ban jet travel too. And vacations. And weekend trips to Grandma’s house. And any other trip not officially sanctioned by the government.

Well, not necessarily “banned”, but at least priced out of the reach of the “commoner” so that the elites will be the only ones
flying, vacationing, and visiting Grandma when they want to.
I propose that lefty loonies like Eric Sundquist be given all the power they want -- so long as it's restricted to lefty loony hubs like Madison.
Leave them free to create their own Utopias. Leave them free to attract all the other lefty loonies to these sacred Utopias.
Then, nuke them.
Don't look now Comrade, but that is probably in the works right now when Obama is Comrade Commissar Obama and the Marxist congress gets in full Marxist session in January 2009. The changes in American lifestyle are going to be vast. Power of the Government Gun will control. You will obey or be sent to prison, stripped of your home, bank accounts, all in the name of good socialism in Amerika.
“A lot of times when I grab lunch to go during the week, there is a nice park a few minutes away and I go there. While indulging in fast food and soft drinks, I often have a technical book or magazine to read.”
I do the same thing on occasion, though I prefer listening to Rush on the radio while downing my lunch. And sometimes, if it’s cold or hot outside, I sit with the car idling with the A/C or heat on..shhh. Hey, it’s money
I’m guessing that since rush hour and traffic jams are pretty much a necessity, they won’t be banned...while the same is not true of drive-through businesses that already have parking lots.
ban Madison.
why ban when you can tax?
Not good enough for the lefties to be “isolated” because they know their Utopia will fail and not be implemented nation/world wide.
Have to do it on a national level so that we can’t escape.
Carefull wally!! The intelligentsia are the first to the re-education camps.
Pick up a comic book or two.
And some people will eat in the parking lot with their cars running...ever heard of Sonic? Should we ban them too?
I think you missed the point of my comment. It’s about control.
my gawd how do these morons continue to come up with this nonsense?
