New Dangers: Working and Salt
In case you’re keeping track (and you’re probably not), there’s a new danger which government “needs” to protect us from: salt. Yes, that little white stuff that you find, well, everywhere. According to Those Who Know Better Than You, it’s killing you and should be regulated, banned, and controlled by government — much like marijuana. And word is that the government is actually considering punishing, jailing, and killing people who sell too much salt — because it’s “dangerous.”
I am still amazed at people who support such things. Why do they honestly hate freedom so much? Why do they believe that only they are smart enough to tell everyone else what to do? Why do they think that they should use the power of government to punish, and if needed, kill people in other to enforce what they, personally, believe everyone else should do? How incredibly selfish and self-centered these people must be to believe that they should determine everything for everyone. People who support actions like this are honestly evil and anti-freedom, even if they don’t believe so themselves.
But hey, as long as we’re banning things that are “bad” for you, next on the list will be working at night. You see, that apparently now causes cancer. Therefore, if we should use government to punish people who sell and eat salt because it’s bad, then we obviously NEED to use government to shut down any business that stays open or allows people to work at night. Perhaps we can have government patrols that look for lights on at night and they can shoot and arrest anyone who dares to work at night — for their own good, of course.
Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

Salt?
Does it specify a kind of salt?
Cause if it’s all salt then the northern states are screwed because there is so much on the ground right now it looks like snow.
Oh, and the western states are starting to ban washing your car at your home because it’s bad for the environment.
Well, we can just post warning stickers on the ground warning people not to lick the roads. That will work, right?
With so much badness in this country, maybe they will for special militias to go about the business of confiscating salt?
I’m with QW, I want to know if I should hide my Kosher Salt?
They will have to pry my margarita glass with the salted edge from my cold, dead fingers! I’m with you Ogre… yearning for freedom is becoming a habit everytime I read something where some other liberal know it all is trying to run my life!
oops! That’s “form” militias, not “for”.
That’s an interesting twist. They can’t ban salt because it’s religious.
Guess every grocery store in the country is soon to be indicted for excess salt selling. ESS, the crime of the century; whodathunkit?
Your government at work. Look forward to visits from the SBS (State Bureau of Salt).
In ancient civilization, they used salt for money and trade, apparently they didn’t know it was “demonic” and bad for you! And what about those beach bums and surfers running around with salt all over their bodies, who’s going to police them???? They can’t be doing that!!!
Well money is evil (according to the left), so that makes salt evil, right?
And those surfers? Oh, we’re going to have to have a surf salt enforcement patrol. Not only is it dangerous that they’re consuming that salt, I’m sure that’s an environmental danger, too!
Well with all the “Salt Police” that will be needed, it will create MORE GOVERNMENT JOBS… just what this country needs, eh????
Can you see now why moves like this are supported by liberals? They create more government employees that are dependent on government — which means more government and more power for those liberals in charge.
Oh yes, I am seeing a lot more clearly what kind of negative chain reactions occur. And I am seeing more clearly where more of our freedoms are stolen when government gets bigger and more in control of our daily lives.
Government is evil. It really is that simple.
I was thinking about the “olden days” this morning while I was driving through “winter hades” on my way into work.
Before they had the press and light speed communications, people had to rely on “party lines” to know what platform they agreed with and therefore what politician to select.
They would pick up a paper or read community bulletin board to find out what the official platform was for the coming election, and decide that way, many times not even seeing or hearing the candidate in person. Parties were important back then. I think what has “polluted the waters of politics” is the mainstream press and modern communications. Instead of making us better able to see the front runners more clearly, it has given birth to the greatest lie scam of all… SPIN. It isn’t the politicians themselves that are soooo evil, it is the press, and the power brokers/lobbys that have taken over. Ron Paul may well be this country’s last hope for restoring things the way our forefathers meant them to be.
Snow and Winter just gives me the biggest brain farts!!! LOL!!!!!!
Know what I think would be best for politics? More political parties. And I mean a LOT more. I want to have 20 people running for president — in the general election! I want 15 political parties in the House so if one party wants to be obstinate, they’re all alone!
I agree, we need more variety in the minds that rule. More perspectives make for better solutions.
I would love to see the battles as coalitions of 10 or 12 House members all fought to gain enough other coalitions to pass a vote — knowing that most proposed laws would never get past such a mess!
“Okay, we’ve already got the Republican Party and the Democrat Party coalitions to support us. That’s only 34 members right now and we need over 235. We’re going to have to add something to this to get the Green Party on board. And the Gun Party over there is never going to go for that. Maybe we can tell the Freedom Party and the Libertarian Party that we’ll give them something if they can support us and bring the Constitution Party and the group from the New South Party over with them…”
