Where is this "Nanny State" you nicotine addicts keep whining about?
Where is this "Nanny State" you nicotine addicts keep whining about?
In discussing the matter with reporters, the mayor indicated that he
felt changes to the law were needed. ''The city should not be in the
business of deciding what goes on, whether there is dancing or not
dancing,'' he said. ''We have dance police,'' he continued. ''This is
craziness.''

While I'm not going to bother looking up your nytimes link, isn't the
presence of "dance police" pretty muh evidence of a nanny state?
Okay, maybe what they're talking about is not what it sounds like - it
doesn't matter.
How about a state that takes children away from parents for their
political views?
Happened last week in Canada.
How about banning sack races and 3-legged races because someone might
fall and get hurt?
Happened last week in the UK.
How about banning kiddie pools without permits?
Happened in the UK recently too.
How about laws against prostitution?
How about laws against many drugs?
How about laws requiring you to give up your gun for 2 weeks while the
cops perform a background check and record ballistics for your gun?
Happened just the other day in Washington DC.
Oh - and how about a big mug of STFU for you?
I'm buying.
