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.
Undoubtedly. The FDA is driven by politics and public opinion (and not making mistakes) so that is entirely possible. When you allow something like this to happen without a fight it emboldens the know nothing busybodies who will eventually demand the government do something on a national scale. Bush probably wouldn't. Hillary wouldn't hesitate. This decision may prove we're functioning properly on a small scale. Get enough small scale decisions like this and watch the feds come roaring in. I think it's bad no matter where it occurs.
