The brazen audacity of this Dan Beauchamp fellow is breathtaking, but seems to have really caught on among the nomenklatura.
This Health Uber Alles SEIG HEALTH philosophy is undermining and destroying three centuries of Western, British and American concepts of liberty, individual freedom (including to be left alone with like minded individuals) and jurisprudence based on the ideas of Locke, Burke, Bacon, Marlowe, Franklin, Paine and many others.
Seeing how so many “conservatives” subscribe to the Health Nazi Nannyists Jihad on Tabak, it will be fun to watch the squirming, wailing and teethgnashing as the tenets of Nannyism are applied to ALL aspects of human existence, since putting health on a pedestal means every aspect of an individual’s (how quaint a word in this era of collectivity for the alleged greater good) is now under the purview of the Boards of Health.
A while ago I joked that we are now not the US, but the United Boards of Health of America.
I have to stop joking around, this stuff is too real!
Health Jacobins is a good description of this crowd.
No wonder you keep that piece handy! Wow!
Read my signature line lately?
Who knew Demolition Man would be so prophetic?
And to continue my rant, what’s really absurd about the NC ban (and probably most others) is that restaurants have already been going non-smoking on their own for years! If you want to work or patronize a bar without being around all those filthy smokers, you had plenty of options.
I wonder how many of the pantywaists who voted for this crap actually frequent bars anyway? I live in the state capital and am a regular at one of the more popular watering holes in town, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a General Assemblyman there. What the hell business is it of theirs?
