There are lots of potentially hazardous and/or unhealthy activities that people engage in. Where does this slippery slope end?
Eating too much ice cream could eventually lead to health problems and an early death. Should that be banned too?
Bottom line: liberals want to control your life, they want to make all the rules, and they want to run the agencies that monitor you.
Those of us who have fought with conservative health Nazis here at FR have been endlessly pointing out this slippery slope. But you will still have freepers who insist that fat people need to be controlled - probably because obesity has been demonized in the popular press and is not aesthetic according to puritans. And the same people find cigar and cigarette smokers unpleasing. I, of course, find them sexy and endearing.
Yes, I agree with you. Liberals feel that they have some moral and intellectual superiority, and somehow actually believe that they have all of the answers, and should enact their rules “for our own good”.
....and I want to be there and watch with them while dogs fight over their entrails. So what? You don't always get what you want.
