Fuck this guy.......  It's not any politicians business who buys what from whom and for what reason.  It's not his fucking job to "reduce demand" or to even try to change people's life choices.  We need to quit begging politicians for just a few freedoms back or listening to their empty promises of going easier on us.  Politics can't give us any freedoms that we aren't already born with, it can only take them away.

So why are you saying 'fuck you' to a pol who's trying to give a few back?

If you want to see where this is going, just look at New York.  Bloomberg has, on his own, issued edicts prohibiting  large sugary drinks, trans-fats, smoking in public places, salty food, traffic in the city, and now cigarette cartons must be hidden from public view by vendors.  I've said it before, personal freedoms are a hindrance for politicians and bureaucrats.  If we don't fight every little bite, we will eventually be consumed.

Hate to break the news to you buddy but that ship has already sailed.

Not sure about sailed, but it is definitely tugging at its moorings....
