RE: Schwartz: Ban Alcohol in Bars

VERY nice. Ridicule is such a great utility -- especially when it is right on the mark, as in this case.

Locally, we now have a smoking ban (outdoors) on the beaches. (...on the BEACHES!) Cigarette butts and baby diapers were deemed to be the two 'most troublesome' items encountered during a recent 'beach-cleanup-drive'. (No, sorry, I have NOT heard of any moves afoot to ban BABIES from those same beaches... Go figure.)

...and yesterday I read that our chief proponent of Nanny-Government, State Senator Debra Ortiz (...she of "soda-pop-tax" fame), NOW has a bill in the state legislature to require (...YES, REQUIRE!...) all health insurance providers to pay for 'smoking-cessation' classes for all insureds in the state.

Of course, she doesn't see a THING wrong with her bill's obvious consequence (should it be enacted) of still-further-incrementally-increasing healthcare premiums (ALREADY deemed WAY too high by MOST citizens), for ALL Californians, whether they WANT such mandated additional 'healthcare-coverage', or not. (Is Anyone Surprised???)
"OPM -- The Liberal Solution to Every Societal Problem. (...Other People's Money)"

You may remember her face...

This woman is really sharp! Too bad we don't have a lot more politicians of her caliber in both the USA and Canada! What a great sense of humor.....great analogy!
