"In the interest of public safety, we are going to do the transvaginal ultrasound thing." We can make limits on anything we want if we preface it with "in the interests of public health". Sounds like fun. " in the interests of public harmony we'll limit debate about public policy" or I like the idea of, in the interest of public health, limiting everyone to 1 pack of cigarettes per week. Mandate exercise. Monthly fridge inspections. Fines for walking around barefoot. Ban skydiving. Jail time for high fat foods. Eventually we are going to find your particular vice. Something that makes your life easier and ban or limit it. Why? Well, for your own good. Because you didn't want a government. You wanted a mommy and daddy to protect you from yourself. Because you have no self control.
I get a 44oz soda before work. It's not hurting you, or costing you a damn thing. So leave me the hell alone.
