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.That's not what you said though. Encouraging is one thing...banning is another. The salt ban isn't "encouraging" it's outright banning. An awful lot of SubChatters, including you, feel they have the right to make that determination for me. It's not. And I never said such. In fact, I have often said, I don't care who someone chooses to live with, it's not something that's a priority to me. I have said you take your activism to the extreme, that doesn't mean I am against you living with or doing with who you want. 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. But listen to what you just said and look in the mirror. You who get up in arms about all these "gay issues", are the same one that says it's alright for the government to intrude in our lives with what we drink, smoke, or eat. |
