First they
came for the smokers, and I said nothing.
Then they came for the trans-fat, and again I said nothing. They came for the 16oz sodas, and I sat
silent. Finally they came for the popcorn and the milk, and I said enough!
It seems
that the Mayor of New York wants to become “Nanny in Chief.” Is his
goal to make the “Big Apple” the “Small Apple?”
If I choose to move to NYC, why can’t I be a French fry eating, soda
slurping, chain smoking, fat slob?
Perhaps the Mayor would like to check my underwear and see if I’ve
changed it? Of course that is the TSA’s job, but hell, given the current state
of our federal, state, and local governments. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind
joining together to limit our freedoms even further.
The belief that
the government cares for us is slowly smothering our individual freedoms. We need to be safe in our cars, so seatbelt
laws are passed. Shortly after, seat
belt check points appear, and we willingly submit. No one supports drunk
driving, so in an effort to show our opposition to drunk drivers, we allow
drunk driving task forces to set up and stop cars. Do either of these stops passed 4th
Amendment scrutiny? No, but the courts allow them. Why? Obviously our safety outweighs our
liberties.
It has been
rumored that to make air travel more palatable, stripper poles and roofies will
be installed and distributed to make the invasive searches more fun. These subtle changes may also increase the
membership in the Mile High Club. Of
course, as sex can be dangerous there may be limitations on its use in the
future. I mean sexually transmitted diseases
can cause great harm to a person, and be a danger to others, as can an unwanted
pregnancies or an abortion.
Perhaps if
the government could regulate sexual activity, maybe limiting it to once a
week, with a condom, on a Sunday between the hours of 9-10pm in a sterile room
provided by a state approved agency.
This would allow for a sex check points where individuals could be identified
(Your papers please), screened for diseases and condoms. The beauty of this system would be that the government
could make sure that only government approved couples and sex acts could be
performed. This system could be
regulated to help control the population.
For example there could be sex rooms and procreation rooms, with stiff
fines if a couple uses the room for an improper purpose, say using the
procreation room for just pleasurable sex, not creating a life.
Once the
government let us know what we can eat and drink; what kind of light bulbs we
can use, how much water can be in our toilets, where we can live, or how we can
travel; who we can marry, with who, and how, we can have sex, we will be
totally free.
