Mayor Bloomberg, after banning cigarete smoking has now declared war on sugar drinks over 16 ounces but not in convenience stores. Go figure. The natives have struck back. Those objecting to this heavy handed approach are canvassing New Yorkers for their opinion on the ban.

Governments are trying to micromanage our lives. From banning lemolemonade stands to what we eat and drink, or whether we buy health insurance, the government knows best. I suspect this is the start of a backlash against such over regulation.

In Europe citizens are marching demanding more government support. But here citizens are organizing to oppose more government regulation. That is the way America Started, remember the Boston Tea Party, let's see which side will win.
