CAN IT REALLY BE TRUE THAT the city of new york is considering legislation making it illegal to sell , purchase, or consume any drink larger than sixteen ounces which has sugar in it? excuse me?
america becomes more like a kurt vonneut novel every day.
it is already illegal to sell saturated fats in new york restaurants; will it soon be illegal to eat donuts in small towns all over america? to what extent can we protect people from their own bad choices through legislation?
the free market has its own kind of legislation. if someone is selling, buying, or consuming too many large sugary drinks, the negative consequences of this will show up, eventually, and the demand for the cause of these negative consequences will diminish in the free market.
should we really make it illegal to manufacture, sell, buy, or smoke cigarettes? probably not, however tempting it might be.
wanna get the government out of health care? fine. then allow the number of doctors and hospitals to double, and manifest massive voluntary free market sharing throughout human culture. when ever people are cooperating with each other, helping each other, they are behaving "socialistically" even if the government is nowhere in sight.
humans are as inherently socialistic (cooperative) as they are capitalistic (competitive). let's put both modes of thought and action to work, with, or preferrably without government!
government which comes from the top down is tyranny. government which comes from the bottom up is voluntary cooperation. our choice is as always, what form of government to have, and how much of it.
