“In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one:

who does not obey shall not eat.” Trotsky

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

First They Came For Tobacco

You know the adage: First they came for ______ fill in the blank, and I didn't say anything. Then they came for.... and when they came for me there was no one left to say anything. Well here goes.

The latest "You better watch out because it will cause cancer" claim, comes from alcohol. If you drink "too much" booze - amount to be determined by the government - you are at risk for "considerable proportion of the most common and lethal" of cancers. This according to Manuela Bergmann of the Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke in Nuthetal Germany.

Where have we heard this before?

☀ Caffeine
☀ Red Meat
☀ Alar
☀ Saccharine
☀ Hot Dogs
☀ Processed Meats
☀ Donuts
☀ Hydrogenated Oils

You get the idea.

Sharky&Sharky understand there is a fine line between assisting the public's awareness and manipulating social customs and habits through modification/control via government intervention. But when is too much too much? As this planet's population continues to spin upward in an out of control manner, this almost seems counterintuitive and counterproductive.

The next big cancer scare will be soft drinks - especially the diet kind. Watch for it. In the meantime, go have an adult beverage.
