NYC bans something based on local demography (leftists concentrated in Manhattan) and if Americans in Oklahoma can safely eat whatever the hell they want, and Californians can eat whatever tofu they want, then in my opinion, unlike Brussels or DC forcing uniformity--the Republic is still working in this small case like it's supposed to.

Unfortunately, it lends credibility to stupidity and that is never a good thing for the Republic. Policy like this should always be based on sound science instead of political agendas, regardless of where you live.

you think that's not coming to a state near you? think again.

I do! Sadly.

But at least that's how a Republic is supposed to work. State by state legislature/council vote. Not top-down judicial oligarchy by-fiat.

What you guys describe is also correct. Stupid people are making stupid decisions---state by state. And no doubt, we are probably not far away from FDA b.s. mandating it one way or another (I heard a story today about a switch from high fructose corn syrup to a 'more healthy' cane sugar. Jeez.)

But this is just a normal problem with letting stupid people govern themselves. It's not indicative of a nanny-sate or fascism per se.

Unless we unlink education from federal (and lawyer) control, it doesn't matter what the particular issues are. The looters are coming!

I'm just saying that the Republic is functioning as it's supposed to, and it is venting its alarm steam whistle just like it's supposed to.

But nobody seems to know how to respond. I guess I don't either.
