New York’s Mayor Bloomberg explained that his proposed large soda ban isn’t “taking away anybody’s right to do things, we’re simply forcing you to understand” what’s better for you.
Say… didn’t a British King try that with us once?

An insane billionaire in his third term in a city with a two-term limit imposing his will on the people. Seems like a job for Batman.
So, Bloomberg is saying that poor people are too dumb to understand why they are fat. Does that mean if I show a W2 proving a 50K+ income I can order whatever size I want?
Dear Bloomberg,
When I smack you upside the head I’m not trying to commit assault; I’m simply forcing you understand – that you’re not my mother… and release pent-up aggression. Mostly the understand thing, though.
Love and Kisses,

Mostly the King was trying to do what was best for him and his lords: line their coffers. Instead, nowadays we have the Feds and the States doing the same.
I predict the smuggling in of large sodas. Then the illegal trading. Then the big weapons. Then the dinosaurs and the screaming and the running. Good job, Bloomberg.
See? Trayvon WAS a criminal! He was partronizing a 711!
Too soon?
Hey we rolled over on the smoking ban. Got stuck with sucky food from his trans-fat ban. Lard was outlawed decades ago (can’t anyone remember how good french fries actually tasted back then?). HDL was good then, LDL was bad. Or was it vice versa since it reversed since then? I forget.
Liberals that are complaining now are reaping what they sowed. Now I want Bloomberg to say that red meat is bad, and must be banned, except for the pitiful beef patty that goes on a standard McDonald’s hamburger – more than that may make you fat. French fries are definitely out – too many carbs. Sodas, we see that banning 17 oz sodas haven’t done the job, so let’s go back to the 6.5 bottles (I liked those – they were really fizzy) – but that’s all you can have – 1 per week.
You 2 LT buyers – you’re next – no matter how big your families are.
Oh, bacon is history too.
It’s for your own good
England was trying to pay for the French/Indian War (1754-1763) which left them with a debt of 137 million Pounds with 5 million in annual interest payments.
Although England grabbed lots of cool stuff from the French and Spanish during the war, like Canada, the French colonies in India and Gibraltar, they still thought the American colonies should help pay for the cost of the war since British efforts had saved us from the disgrace of being dominated by the French.
So George III raised the tax on tea, but he never limited the size of American tea cups.
Therefore George III had more excuse, and his demands were less onerous, than those of Nanny Bloomberg.
“Because, BWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “,the Mayor’s vuvuzuela explained.
Born 1941, so I started with FDR, Truman, Ike, et al.
NYC does not take your money, they just force you to understand that your wallet is too fat. Or your holster is too full of gun. Or that no man is worth his salt if his fries are not unsalted.
