Works for me

An idea from the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy realm: Let’s decriminalize drugs and criminalize soft drinks.

Linked from maggiesfarm, which links to

on the supposed ridiculousness of Republicans arguing against Bloomberg’s anti-biggolp cups in NYC.

Yesterday someone (I didn’t get the link) opined that obesity among US is a direct result of “Smoking will kill you.” Instead of inhaling tobacco, US citizens swallow not-healthy foods and drinks.

And!!! How about the government operating under the Laws of Robotics? (Asimov’s laws were fiction, sure, but then so is much of government’s arguments for itself as supreme.)
