There you have it!

Back to the point of my thread. Do you (Ricter) think gov knows best? Do you believe that in your own life the gov knows whats best for you even if you KNOW otherwise?
 
Quote from wjk:

Except in the case of recess appointments, which can leave an appointee in position until the end of the next senate session if I'm not mistaken.

Fair enough.

Democracy: the worst system there is, except for... (you know the rest).

Do we live in a democracy or a republic? There is a difference, as you know.

Back to the thread. Do you want to be in charge of your own life or have someone else in charge, a politician(s) no less?

I have no problem with limited gov. I do have a problem with politicians like bloomberg acting like a nanny. He doesn't know what's best for you or me, he just thinks he does. And he's not alone in the political world. That was my original point.

I'm ok with a republic, but it would have to be me who decides who gets to speak and vote. Otherwise, we'll have to settle for a mere democracy.

As to your original point, I don't think anyone but the sugar lobby thinks (well, says) sugar is good for you. So to them, Bloomberg does know better.

Edit: I do disagree with his chosen method, though.

Well, refined sugar is something I avoid, along with many other items. But I like being the one to make those decisions. I've said before, and I'll say again...use education in these matters, not force of law.

I'm willing to accept the character-centered approach to problem solving as far as it can be reasonably employed.
 
Bloomberg is a wanna'be tyrant who is full of himself and his own ideas. He is the kind of guy who would send millions of people to death camps, all for the greater good don't ya' know. There is no better example than he of why the Founders gave us the 2nd amendment in the first place.
