A few items from the passing scene...
The city of Bangor, Maine is proposing that people who smoke in their car while children are present be pulled over by the police and fined.
The California legislature is considering a law that would prohibit parents from spanking or administering any corporal punishment to any child under three years of age, punishable by up to one year in jail.
New York City has banned the use of trans-fats in any food in any restaurant. Meanwhile, Chicago has banned restaurants from serving foie gras.
New York State is considering a law that will ban the sale of some video games to anyone under 18 years of age.
Staring Jan 1, Texas banned smoking in all foster parents' homes and cars when children are present.
Several school districts, such as the one in Palmyra Pennsylvania, are considering prohibiting parents from providing fast food to their children if they bring lunch to school.
Now York City councilman Joel Rivera wants to ban fast food restaurants from at least some parts of the city.
Do you think your dental hygienist or optician is hot? Wanna ask 'em out? If you live in Washington, then too bad. The new state professional regulations prohibit it. And no fair switching from Pearle Vision Center to Lenscrafters to use a different optician. Because you can't go out with them for two years after utilizing them as your "health care provider".
Its liberty's death by a thousand cuts.
