It's none of your business what I eat.

Recently the ever socialist Mayor of New York City attempted to outlaw "over-sized drinks". What exactly is an over-sized drink? According to Bloomberg, anything over 16 oz. Glad the food and drink Czar is here to tell us what we can have. Did I miss something, when did we lose all free will? Drinking a 32 oz. Coke doesn't make me any risk at all to the average citizen sitting next to me, so how exactly is it the Governments business what I drink? Government should step in to limit things in foods, but not the foods themselves. You want to limit Arsenic? Fine, limit it. You want to limit sugar levels in a drink, fine limit it. However, don't tell me what "size" I can buy. It is none of your damn business, and this false non-sense of somehow this relating to health care is insane. If that were the case, why are donuts, hamburgers and everything else legal?

To these moronic individuals that believe this is a 'good' idea. Stop quoting me the BMI and "average calorie diet". This makes the overwhelming assumption that we are all 5'10" or smaller and that we all weigh less than 160lbs and have never lifted a weight. Totally absurd. I have one question and one question only for these health experts, what part of the egg is good again? Because the 33 years I've been on this planet, that perspective has changed nearly a half-dozen times. This health science is shady at best, and to allow Government into your kitchen is a mark of a Socialist doctrine.

How about you take a minute out of your day to show self-restraint. Is 32 oz. of sugar water bad for you? Don't know. Probably not the best thing, however I doubt any science that tries to say one of those drinks a day, for your whole life, will hurt you. It just will not, plain and simple. Now you want to drink 5 of these a day every day, that is different. However, you pay your health insurance so if you want to blow it on diabetic medicine, knock yourself out. I will not judge. And that brings me to the real crux of the issue; socialized medicine.

The problem the Government has is that it blew the wad on trying to fund health care for the masses, and as predicted, now wants to dictate what you eat/drink to help dictate costs. Please America, don't cry in 50 years when you have no personal choices. Don't wonder where it all went, you led it down the aisle with a smile.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
