You all know that government intervention in our lives is a button-pusher for me....Well....this one really takes the cake! Front page story today is about House Bill 282. It's unbelievable to me that someone would even think of doing such a thing. Basically it is a twist on the law that says a bar is responsible to monitor it's customer's level of intoxication (to protect the public) and cut them off if they are too drunk. This time, if an obese person goes into a restaurant, to protect their health, the restaurant is not supposed to serve them. I know that at times, when I've written about the intervening on a person's right to smoke in their own home I've gotten some pretty heavy duty comments, but the bottom line is that if you give the government (prompted and supported by radical people) an inch...they try to take a mile. I'm a law abiding, tax-paying citizen that supports most of the actions by our government regarding issues with the United States. However, when you come into my house or start looking at how much I weigh....I take huge offense. It's time to stop this nonsense. The article talks about how this certainly wouldn't be passed, but believe me its the start to a house bill that will be passed in the future. When the avid anti-smoking thing started, people said the same thing...now look where we are.
