One of the major tenets of National Socialism was that business owners could keep ownership of their businesses, but must run them as the government decreed. That, along with a disregard for personal liberties, and the (as someone else noted and I'd previously been unaware) hatred of tobacco together seem to make the 'N' word fit.
"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." --Thomas Jefferson: Statute of Religious Freedom, 1779
Can anyone tell me why I'm forced to pay for NPR and PBS?
Because people like you keep supporting the increase in government power beyond its constitutional authority. And since nothing is totally safe and hazard free, and thus most idiot Americans support intervention in private property and affairs, even where say 1 person in hundreds of millions might be injured, therefor, there is no limit to government as a general rule. You object to NPR, and rightly so, but fail to see NPR as but a small part in a larger problem.
Mark my words. I see nothing that will officially stop the health nazis from ruling high fat foods illegal. I could even see President Bush supporting some initial legislation. There is no reason food can't be made tasty and lowfat, it is only the greed of the merchants and the ignorance of the great unwashed victims. I can see the ads, of men showing their bypass scars on tv, and saying McDonalds did this too me. Or a widow and children who are asking, "Where's dady, Mommy?" BurgerKing killed him children.
You wait.
