OH SNAP! They're at it again.......

I agree 100% about big brother sticking his nose in. I guess I don't like smoking, so naturally those laws do not bother me.

You might be aware of this, however, Onstar (GM oncall service provider) is working out a deal with police agencies in which they will be able to disable your vehicle's engine from anywhere the satelite can reach. I can see the the pluses, as such as stopping robbers and criminals, however, I think that the negatives (such as giving some clown in an office the ability to disable your vehicle whenever they see fit) outweigh the positives. I can seen them working with collection agencies, DMV's, courts, and all kind of other people in the future where they will be given permission to disable your vehicle. Hell, maybe in the future, if you have too many points, they can just disable your engine not to restart. I don't think that this is as far-fetched as some might think. I think it is on the horizon.

Another example is that stupid ass mayor Gavin in SF wants to ban or tax all carbonated beverages because of obesity. Same as other cities coming up with crazy plans to ban fast food. The thing that pisses me off about it is people all have a free choice to eat what they want. Why does big brother have to come in and say "hey, lets get rid of all of these fastfood places to help fight obesity"....that is soo stupid. It is just like guns, they don't kill people, people do. Maybe if you are obese you should be declined service at fastfood places instead. Yes, that crazy, but not any crazier than trying to ban fast food. Are we that dumb that we need to the government to save us from ourselves in what we eat and drink as far as calories and fat is concerned...not talking about chemicals that are bad for you.
