And just how nanny are you going to get. Do we require health certificates before someone buys a dozen calorie laden doughnuts?
“foods and drugs we ingest dont kill us.”
Alcohol kills people-—and destroys many lives that it doesn’t kill.

The Declaration of Independence wasn’t a grant of government power. That rests solely to the Constitution.
