Assault On Liberties

Be warned and get ready, my freedom-loving friends, for the next assault on our liberties from those who know best.
First it was the anti-tobacco fascists, then the anti-cavity and pro-fluoride fascists. Next to assault our sensibilities and protect us from ourselves will be the anti-obesity fascists.
There are already a few of them around the country limiting the people’s choices by the power of government – restricting soft-drink sizes and what kinds of fat one can use for cooking, requiring that calorie counts be posted, etc. Will our local lawmakers soon seek to limit our freedom to choose (all in the cause of “promoting the general welfare,” of course)?
There are those who, if they cannot win over enough people to their more enlightened point of view, will pass around a petition and use the power of government to force the “dumb masses” to obey their lifestyle choice so “we the people” will do what is the best for us – and for society, too, while we’re at it.
