Speaking Truth to Power... about drink sizes?


And here's Sarah Palin at CPAC, demonstrating the childish reactionism that we've come to expect.

Bonus facts:
1) The NYC drink ban didn't include Big Gulps
2) It was struck down by a judge anyway
3) The lovely people of facebook have christened Sarah Palin as "Bible Spice"

You may be assuming I consider those restrictions legitimate as well. I do not. I don't see any sort of obvious right to those restrictions, putting aside the "can" and "should" thing.

There is never a question about whether you "should" do a thing or not. The only question is "Do I have the power to do this thing?", followed by the act of carrying out your will. That is liberty as its base; the power to do what thou wilt.

Based on what? You already acknowledged that there is no Constitutional illegitimacy. What do you base your political stance on?
