Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you pass a law that tells me how much food I can eat, or whether or not I can listen to my ipod while crossing the street, I, as an American, have every right to tell you to "go fuck yourself".
I have the right to do what I want, when I want, and say what I want, as long as I'm not infringing on the rights of others. That means if I want to eat every day at Krispy Kreme and get fat, I can. That means if I want to blow out my ears listening to Metallica, I can.
Politicians need to understand that Americans are used to having freedom to make choices about the way they live and will get pissed and vote them out of office if they try to take those freedoms from us.
For example:
New York's City Council recently called on residents to voluntarily stop using the n-word and approved a ban on metal baseball bats in high school games, because of fears that youngsters will get killed by balls rocketing off the bats. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has yet to take action on the bat ban.
Metal baseball bats have been used for decades and they are no more dangerous then wood ones. If someone wants to use the word "nigger", that's their choice. I disagree vigorously with them using that term, but that's their right as an American. You'll notice that the City Council didn't ask residents to stop using other terms like: Honky, Cracker, White Devil, Chink, Gook, Fag, or other racist or derogatory terms. People have the right to be assholes, eat fatty foods, and do unhealthy things to themselves, because we have a right to privacy and the right to be free. "Nanny" laws restrict that freedom.
