The Real Story of America's Founding

^“_”

San Francisco is considering a ban on the sale of goldfish. Basically, the government is afraid that people are getting fish as impulse buys and not treating them properly, so they don’t want to allow anyone to buy them at all. They’re also considering a ban on parents having their babies circumcised.

They’ve already banned Happy Meals, as they think they’re too enticing to children and parents can’t be expected to control what their own kids eat ...

The leaders of these cities have taken it upon themselves to place their own opinions of what people should or should not be doing above basic liberty. They’ve made it the government’s role to be a nanny and have ruled individual choice as unimportant. And I have one thing to say to them: [Cont]

The downside is hey won't stop doing this kind of crap until the vigilantes show up, because they can use taxpayer money to defend against suits and they own the judges anyway.; 6/23/11, 2:05 PM

I don't think that any living thing should be bought lightly, or as some fallback option because the parent doesn't want to buy the kid a dog. I worked in a pet store a few years ago for a long time, and it always bothered me to see little snot noses getting fish that would be lucky to live two weeks.

They should leave everything else up to the people, and not try to control everything. But I'm not a big fan of goldfish sales.; 6/23/11, 3:16 PM

toadold said...: The more concern a person "Publicly" displays about animals, the more likely it is that they hate people in inverse proportion. By giving animals "rights" they have the excuse to take away people "rights."
The more they give PC concerned speeches about respecting other cultures the more likely they will attack another cultures religious beliefs and dietary traditions unless it is those of Muslims who seem to scare the defenders of PC.; 6/23/11, 5:28 PM

It's an 86 buck fine if you're caught swimming without one. Kind of presents a few pictures that make me giggle. Does that mean if Jesus came down again and walked on water HE'D be fined?; 6/23/11, 6:45 PM

They out grew the tank. We gave them to a young lady with a big aquarium. Cleo pushed up the lid of our tank and crawled out the window never to be seen again. I guess he got lonely... He was a belligerent bastard, I hope he bites some senator on the toe. TDB
