now those Dolts are after the Pigeons!
http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-audacity-of-notes/?singlepage=true Ever since I signed up at the BarackObama.com website to request a free bumper sticker, I have been receiving regular friendly emails from various people I never met, who share with me their concerns and life stories. All these different people have one thing in common: they write to me in the same caring, soothing voice, using the same simple words and sentences. And while the issues may vary, every such heart-warming letter invariably asks me to carry out the same four actions: tell others to pay a little more in taxes; use my email, Facebook, and Twitter to ask Congress to help Obama to make America a better place; share my personal success story that involves some sort of government assistance; and give them three dollars so they can keep sending me these nice and friendly reminders to ask others to pay more taxes, to pressure Congress through social media, to make up stories about how the government helped them to stop being a loser, and to send them money. After several months their emails began to merge into one warm, fuzzy blur; I can no longer tell what the issue is that they presently care about, but there is always a guaranteed certainty that I can help someone or something if only I do the same ritualistic four-step dance and send them three dollars so they can go on caring about issues. On the plus side, I have learned to write these letters to myself in my head whenever the nice and caring people at BarackObama.com fail to send me one. This is what they look like: Subject: SAY NO TO BREADCRUMBS! Campaign Against Pigeon Obesity Dear Friend, A recent government study of the alarming obesity rates among inner-city pigeons has discovered that this debilitating disorder is caused by America’s addiction to feeding the birds with breadcrumbs that are high in carbohydrates and low in nutrition. Unable to fly, the overweight birds spend their lives with nothing better to do than to engage in depraved, indiscriminate sex with other pigeons. This study has inspired First Lady Michelle Obama to organize a “SAY NO TO BREADCRUMBS!” campaign with the purpose of raising awareness about how much she cares about the proper diet and exercise among low-income Avian-Americans. But she can’t do it without you. She needs you to use your email, Facebook, and Twitter to tell Congress to ban breadcrumbs and to pass a bill that would make the use and possession of breadcrumbs a felony, with violators being subject to heavy fines and/or imprisonment, as well as to secure five hundred million dollars to fight inner-city pigeon obesity by issuing government food rations and promoting a healthy avian lifestyle, which will include group flying lessons and pigeon-size condoms to prevent an increase in urban populations due to excessive recreational sex caused by their inability to do anything else. We need to send a strong signal about where Americans stand on this issue. All it takes is for all of us together to start paying a little more in taxes. Chip in $3 or more to Organizing for Action, the grassroots movement that will get the job done. Tell Congress to do the right thing! |

of course, we hate being told no,,,,, we want full access to everything, damn the consequences,,, Yes we do. Nothing wrong with that. This is our world. Nobody owns it more than anyone else. no, we cohabitate the world, which means it doesnt revolve around our personal wants and desires every moment,, Take that statement, and apply it to yourself if you would please. Things aren't all about what you want or like either you know. Just cause YOU may not personally agree with someone's choices, doesn't give you the right to tell them they can't make them. This cohabitation thing goes both ways.....you need to respect their choices as much as you would want yours respected. To only want it the other way is hypocritical. I am, I respect the laws, which are based upon the people and what their represntatives decide no decision has the approval of EVERY person,,,thats how it works I am in the group who would support this proposal, but the representative decided different so be it I respect his decision even if I dont agree with it,, thats how it works but I doubt , if it had turned the other way, many on the other side of the argument would feel the same 32 ozs vs 2 16oz?, seriously? with people starving and being shot down in schools etc,,, THIS would be worth getting upset about? I dont understand it,,but we all choose our own battles I suppose Laws and individual rights are not the same, and when you respect a law that is created to limit YOU, quite frankly you deserve your own enslavement, because you're not willing to fight for your freedom. We cannot be a free people if other people can decide what we can or can't do for us, doesn't work now and never has, it's about as simple as that. As for the rest......I'm not gonna bother explaining again it'll just go right back your ears clearly. |

What you are proposing is Government Sanctioned Slavery! Unworthy of the US-Constitution! Remember,When Buying and Selling is legislated,the first thing that are bought and sold are the Legislators! Look at Washington DC,or at any State Capitol! I blame People for it,who are constantly crying,"There Ought To Be A Law"! People who are afraid of being free! People who won't make it,unless the State tells them how to act! Collectivists/Statists! and you conveniently forgot another Thing,namely,that those Businesses probably pay more Taxes than anyone of their Customers! |

New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg claims he will appeal a New York judge's choice to overturn the town's ban on sweet beverages served in cups larger than 16 ounces. The soda ban was supposed to have gone into impact on Tues, March 12, but it was overturned right before.

They cant constitutionally 'ban' the products, but if they are investors,, ie , if tax money is in any way supporting the busines,, they can set the guidelines they will require to continue funding,,,,,

It doesn't make sense. "Yeah so you customers are still gonna be allowed the same amount, as long as you add your own". Hardly a ban.

It makes me wonder if somehow health insurance companies are promoting this. If people consume less sugar and are more healthy, the less they have to pay out. Hmmmm...just a thought.

I am surprised the ACLU hasn't already filed a lawsuit over this. There is no way the SCOTUS can say that Bloomberg has the right to make such a law unless the SCOTUS is prepared to tell the citizens of the United States of America that they are no longer citizens, but subjects of the government. |
