Don’t you understand? The serfs themselves are incapable of judging what is good and proper. Therefore, the benevolent lords and masters of New York must help the serfs make the right choices.
And to think there are FReepers who think “Bible thumpers” are the greatest threat to our liberty!
I don’t live in NYC, so this doesn’t apply to me. If the city can tax those who drink regular pop because it leads to obesity, shouldn’t there be an offset for people who drink regular Coke but also exercise regularly? The exercisers would have to keep detailed records and have their gauleiter sign off on the weekly exercise log so they can get a tax break.
I'm sorry, but these guys are just the liberal side of the same coin as the "bible thumpers". I want all busybodies to leave me the hell alone.
