I also have high blood pressure which is attributed from too much sodium intake.

From what I've read, not everyone's blood pressure is salt-sensitive. And I've seen articles estimating the percentage of salt-sensitive individuals at anywhere from 8% to 80% of the population. Which leads me to think maybe they don't know entirely what they're talking about . . .

I guess this New York assemblyman wants to ban the ocean touching NYC's shores and the Red Cross from storing and dispensing blood since both are basically just salted water.

Is it just me or has the average IQ level of most politicians really dropped into single digits?

It's not so much the low IQ of these morons like Ortiz, it's the stupidity of the voters with their hands out who keep re-electing them that's the problem.

I could go on, but the point is clear. There aren’t a lot of foods that can be served legally. Why does this remind me of a central theme from Atlas Shrugged?

Actually, not talking on cell phones while driving is a very good idea.
