After losing his battle to stop the sale of extra large soft drinks New York mayor Bloomberg now wants to make stores keep tobacco products out of sight. Conservatives make it a point to mind their own business and don't tell their neighbors how to live or what to think or do or not do. As a Republican why doesn't Bloomberg act like a conservative? It is the liberals that always want to dictate how Americans should live. Bloomberg should keep out of people's lives.
NYC Anti-Smoking Campaign Would Keep Tobacco Products Out Of View In Stores
No surprise here.
Rochester, MN, has a law that people cannot walk down the street smoking. They don't want to see it at all and imposed a fine if someone is spotted in public smoking. It's a matter of time before you can't smoke in your own yard. Some want to ban smoking in cars. And there are neighborhood associations that don't allow smoking in homes in their neighborhood.
They do everything short of banning them. Of course, banning them would mean giving up billions in revenue because of the ridiculously high taxes. They would never want that.
Making laws like this are designed to make people focus on smoking and then freak out and report it if they see cigarettes in stores or people smoking in public. It's the same mindset we see in schools when kids get suspended for paper torn into the shape of a gun or a ******* poptart that has a few bites out of it and barely resembles a gun shape.
By banning things and declaring them evil, it only calls more attention to it. People will be looking for gun shapes and cigarettes and then react just the way liberals want when they see them. They'll freak out and report it. Some people are so damn easy to train.
I wonder if they will ban fat people from places. Maybe Doomberg can set new rules for fast food places. First, close the drive through windows, then reduce the size of the entry doors so overweight people can't fit through. I bet Michael Moore would hate that. Of course, there would still be lawsuits because some people would get stuck in the door.
Or Nanny Doomberg can make a law similar to the rules in bars. Bartenders can't serve alcohol to patrons who appear drunk. Maybe waitresses will be banned from selling fatty foods to customers who appear to be overweight. Hey, McDonald's was already sued for making people fat, so the thing to do is have them refuse service to people who are clearly having health issues.
They also need to ban the use of EBT cards at fast food places. By having such loose rules on where people can blow the tax payer money they receive, the government is contributing to the obesity problem. Not to mention gambling and other complete wasteful things.
Doomberg is just itching to ban something and exert his control over people. Of course, once he does get his way with something, he still won't be satisfied. He'll move on to the next thing. They always do.
