Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -you should know who wrote this by now.

One day we are going to all be placed in bubbles and live our lives that way. They will hook up tubes to feed and breath. When they are done, they just pull the plug and go on to the next person.

You didn’t hear my sarcasm. Maybe you just don’t know me well enough yet.

“chemical sensitivities.”

Soon they will ban restaurants from allowing any smells from escaping. It could cause some sort of reaction.

This guy also introduced a smoking ban bill for all Nevada college campuses.

Antis never sleep.....

Here’s the anti-fragrance/candle bill

Especially peanut-scented candles! They all need to be labeled that they were made in a factory where somebody ate peanuts once! AAAAAAUUUGHGGHH!!!

Call me callous, I’m just really tired of the tyranny of the microscopic minority.

The fact that you felt the need to give a small implied excuse-me at the start of your second paragraph, tells me that the evil ones -- Democrats -- have penetrated our psyche far too much.

Already available but without the mercury. Little battery operated flicker lights that slip into wax sleeves.

Let’s see, we could ban the perfumes that stinky Democrats use to mask their body odor.

Utopia, just around the corner! Give the dems a few more years of control and we’ll be on easy street.

The Ancient Roman writer Tacitus once observed: "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

IMHO, each law needs it's own expiration date. Expiration dates cannot be greater than 4 years from date written. No law can contain multiple unrelated topics. No law can exceed in word length the largest law passed by George Washngton's government.

“Good morning, sir, can I help you?”

“Yes, I’m from the Federal Anti-Candle Enforcement Agency. We had a report of an unauthorized ignition of a scented wax device previously known as a candle. This is in clear violation of the Federal Uniform Candle Control Act. I’m authorized to take all you business equipment. We will leave one of these new lightbulbs. After all we know you’ll have no need for candles because we guarantee you’ll always have electricity.”

“Is there any problem Government CANNOT solve?”

Well, actually, yes. The ones that do not yet exist, because the Government has not yet created them.

Perfect word for it.

I seriously expect a ban on round things soon, from the DEMONcrats.

After all, round things roll! You can break your neck!

Remember when the commies on the left were out there every day whining that Dubya was trying to take away all of their rights, freedom and liberties? I wonder what happened to them.
