discussion with a good friend of mine tonight. She lives in New
York and was actually in support of the attempted ban of large
soft drinks. Truly an insane and monstrous piece of legislation.
She cited numerous reasons why it was a perfectly legitimate use
of Government power. How people had to be saved from making
their own bad decisions. How Coke and Pepsi were "addictive", so
the Government needed to step in. All of the same nanny state
logic that you're citing, we've seen it all before.  I've
probably had thousands of such discussions over the years. And
if there's one thing I've learned, is that you cant convince a
"progressive" how absolutely absurd their line of thinking and
ideology is.  You pulling the "Hitler card" has certainly done
nothing to change that belief.  By yomamafor1 on 6/10/2012
