So the government says: "Smoking is bad for you people" so the government makes a bunch of laws, bans it, taxes the snot out of it........big programs big lawsuits, big publicity.
Gets the message to the little children at school......tell your mommy and daddy to quit, they are hurting YOU. Yes, the government scared the children...........

So the temperature in the pot that the frog is being boiled in, just raised a notch, unnoticed by him.

NOW THE GOVERNMENT is telling us what is good for our kids to wear, and who is 'qualified' to make that decision. Surely not us, the parents, we make poor decisions. We need the government to help us. YES HELP US (all rise in zombie like form and in a monotone voice repeat after the leader).

The heat just went up another notch.

See,no one squawked when the government came down on the smokers............
But it's not about 'the ciggarettes"...........
It's not about the 'second hand smoke"
It's not about "the smell"
It's about control. The government wants to control us.
Just like Stalin. Hitler..........Lenin.
wake up people........

I have not grasped what this law is doing... is it taxing second hand stuff or trying to abolish it? That seems as you say silly... how will that stop us sharing perfectly good ( and ecological) recycling (clothes etc)?

Again.. government confounds me?

thanks for the info. I've not heard about this new law. But then, I've been sick and so busy with trying to just keep up, I've not heard about a lot of things. I DO know we are getting a new President tomorrow, however...LOL
