I was watching the 1993 movie "Demolition Man" the other day and I found an intereesting scene in the movie
John Spartan was just released from prison and his first request is for a cigerette.
He was then told that "Ah, smoking is not good for you, and it's been deemed that anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal."
They then go on the list everything that is illegal:
"Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat, bad language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal, but then again so is pregnancy if you don't have a licence. "
Then it hit me.
This is New York Major Michael Bloomberg's utopia
Lets just look at a list of Ban's Bloomberg supports
- 32oz drinks - anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal.
- Trans fats - anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal.
- Second hand smoke - anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal.
- Alcohol - anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal.
- Salt - anything not good for you is bad; hence, illegal.
Maybe the Edgar Friendly character said it best
"I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener". "
Is that the future you want to live in? The future we want our kids to live in?
