I didn't say the government should force you to stop smoking or drinking, only that it should encourage moderation or abstinence in those things, before moving on to regulation of ordinary foodstuffs.What the HELL is it your damn business if I chose to smoke? (I don't). What the HELL is it your business if I decide to drink a few beers. Well, what the HELL is it anyone's "damn business" who I choose to love or marry? An awful lot of SubChatters, including you, feel they have the right to make that determination for me. But suggest for one second that government should make decisions about what we eat, and suddenly, you're up in arms. This is the essence of the argument to me: Government intervention into our daily lives seems to be OK if applied in one area, but not in others which might affect you directly. |
