Toilet paper is next.
He will limit the number of sheets you can use.
If you go over, they will send out an inspector for approval for one more.
This will save the trees / planet
Create jobs
And you of course they will say it's for the children.
That locks in, so only uncaring people a pose the new law.

Obesity is one of the greatest causes of disability and premature death in our country. It is a contributing factor in diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis and damaged joints etc. etc. For an elected official to ignore and fail to speak out on a matter that directly effects all of us, would be in my opinion, irresponsible. The freedom to drink soda is still intact, you can even go back for seconds.

Couldn't agree more.

Now...will somebody please tell me what that has to do with a politician (or anybody) telling me how big a soda I can drink??!!??
