    Just one more click in the Socialism ratchet. Its a "sin" tax that affects a minority, but the noose gets tighter. They'll be hitting the Big Mac within the year.

    You must have heard about the proposed tax on sugar soda?

    I agree. I hate soda, but an attack on personal freedom is total BS in my book. Where does it stop?

    I don't like that analogy. When a ratchet is clicking, it is actually doing nothing. It's when the ratchet doesn't click that you start screwing stuff.

    Tobacco is hereby villified. They finished with cigarrettes for the time being, now they're starting on cigars. Prepare for ridiculous laws and taxes. Once they're done with cigars, booze and fast/junk food will be next.

    Amen BOTL! The thing I love about the Nanny state. Big brother knows what's best for us (even though it's usually some kid with a newly minted PhD hanging on his/her wall who came up with the idea that they know what is better for me than I do), no matter that we have lived far longer than some of the pinheads who decide they need to regulate our freedoms and lives. Hmmm. I wonder how many of THEM actually stop at red lights/stop signs or drive the posted speeds.
