Let's see, if this non-smoking push is working and secondhand smoke diseases are lowered as are smoking related diseases..... then why are healthcare costs still skyrocketing?

OOOO it's the freaking soda and fast foods and potato chips and Little Debbies and ....

So now let's tax the hell out of them.

But, we'll still allow companies to put carcinogenic fertilizers and pesticides on produce.

We'll allow meds that have very little research done.... In fact fuck the research we'll make the FDA a subsidy of the pharmaceuticals and fill the board full of their representatives.... after all those companies wouldn't want to give out any truly bad meds....

We'll cut the EPA and their standards so that Arsenic and 87 other carcinogenics can be allowed in drinking water... but they better be trace amounts.

That makes bottled water a problem..... so tax the hell out of it, no flouride in that water, kids teeth will rot.

Now let's see...... hmmm meat we have to keep allowing steroids to be put in. And cows God didn't make them lean enough, being omnivores and all, so let's start feeding them other cows. This will make them more meaty and better tasting.

We have to do something about pesky mosquitoes..... hmmmm lets fog with a pesticide that will kill them.... who knows what the true effects will be on the people but we'll not have those bloodsuckers around.

Let's put our kids on ritilin and other mind numbing drugs but tell them that marijuana and other drugs are evil and escapes that don't allow them to fully function.... they'll never get that we are being hypocritical.

Lewt's play fucking God and just tell the people what they can and cannot do. The great thing is as long as we're the party in charge we can blame the other party for NOT wanting these and claim how great they are for us.

But what of rising health costs?

We'll blame lawyers see, and say it was frivilous lawsuits. Sure the doctor left that sponge in during the operation, or made a wrong diagnosis or over prescribed drugs, but we're all human we make mistakes, they shouldn't be punished.

In the end we'll blame individuality for everything and force everyone to conform and if they don't we'll tax and pass laws against anything that may promote individuality in anyway.

We the government now proclaim these tenets as law and if you do not abide ..... we will find ways to punish.... we'll tax, make it illegal and or use every tool we have to make you feel bad for not conforming:

Sex should be with 1 partner and only

Movies may have non stop violence but any nudity or sex will be frowned upon

We will make it impossible for average families to survive on just 1 paycheck.... then when both parents work we'll tell them how bad they are for leaving their kids at home alone.

We will only recognize complaints that allow us to regulate and tax more and more companies that promote people to undertake a health risk........

We will blame big government on the other political party ..... and use anything we can to hide the fact we are being just as invasive.

============================================================

WTF did these people do before when you could smoke almost anywhere, eat whatever they wanted, in all had more freedoms? How the Hell did this nation survive?

Perhaps, just perhaps, people are so tired of hearing what is good for them and what is bad by an ever intrusive government that it is causing the civil unrest and the violence and over aggression we are seeing.

My grandparents could smoke, play till all hours of the night outside, eat whatever they wanted, and so on..... and they lived pretty healthy and happy lives.

What good is living to 70-80 years old if you cannot do what you enjoy.

I'd rather live to 50 and say I enjoyed my life and was able to be free then to live to 90 and under some freaking intrusive government.

Again..... if government is so fucking worried about my health then work out a plan for some form of universal healthcare.... otherwise fuck off and don't dictate to me what I can put into my body, or where I can or cannot partake.
