- Do you feel that as an adult you could make a choice given a set amount of information?
- Do you feel responsible for the actions that you take?
- Or do you desire to have your mother or father second guess everything decision you make in your life and then make the decision for you?
Welcome to Montgomery County! The place where Government watches over you and makes sure you lead a healthy life. A place where decision making is held by those in government not those who reside there. (I did not vote for these clowns) A place where we tell you to jump and we all jump because it’s Montgomery County.
Welcome to the first county in the United States of America that has banned trans fat in restaurants and markets. A place where Freedom of choice to do federally legal actions is banned. Smoking – it’s legal by US standards but illegal in public places in the brain numbing county of Montgomery. Like some fries with that? Nope, not if they’re cooked in FDA approved oils with trans fat because if they are I’m going to sue for ordering FRENCH FRIES (You think they’re fried? Isn’t by nature frying food not healthy to begin with?)
I’m an adult in Montgomery County and I like the rest of the residents of this fine county need to have others make decisions for me. I await the ban on foods with 300 or more calories. OH NO! That hamburger I just ate was 500 calories! The fries another 500! If I eat this every day I’m going to get fat but I love hamburgers and fries! Montgomery County SAVE ME!!!! Tell them that I need calorie controlled foods because excessive calorie intact leads to obesity and death! Please or please make a law to protect me because I have the inability to live with my decisions. These laws help us by removing the decision process for us. Oh whoa is me.
Smoking. Trans Fat. What’s next? Personal Freedom and the pursuit of happiness? Wait! I think I hear the illegal immigrants laughing because trans fats are the new killer fad (stuff like this is how people get elected) and no one wants to deal with the whole illegal immigration issue because we know it’s an actual issue that needs addressing.
Bah. This is also a good read, especially the comments. The best is from user SoMD: Ban English class in schools. It is discriminatory to the illegal aliens.
It hurts when they boo. laff.Note: Not that I’m an advocate of smoking but more the idea of protecting personal freedoms. I enjoy a smokeless restaurant or other smoke-free establishments. But until we are told cigarettes, tobacco and smoking them are illegal like snorting cocaine then by saying smokers are not welcomed to smoke in public places we are reverting back to the days of oppression. (Any one remember what the 19th Amendment is?) People have choices if they choose to make them. Either stay in the area with a smoker or not. Walk faster or on the other side of the street. But alas we live in a “me, me, me” world. I want it my way and that includes a state free of public smoking, life of no trans fat and government making choices for me because apparently I can’t. Too bad I keep choosing to vote for the people that can’t win the election.
And yes, I could choose to live in another state. But what fun would that be?
