Once again you are aprime example of giving away personal choice. Justifying it financially is just a disguise for giving away control to the government and you support it. Then you complain when the government exerts it's control in a direction you don't like, talk about two faced. In my state we have a seatbelt law which requires the wearing of seatbelts but we also removed the law which required motorcycle riders to wear helmets. Our state is not alone in that, there are others so how stupid is that? Now you want the government to force us to lose weight, just how much control do you want the government to have on us? It sounds to me like you really want the government to be all powerful, you just don't want the republicans to do it.
