Thoughts on Soda and
Palin
I generally don't
get into politics, but...
This is probably one of the dumbest photos I've seen in a long time.
At first, I was like
“That doesn't look like Sarah Palin”. My second thought was “she
looks really goofy with that Big Gulp”. And, yes that Soda ban in
New York is a stupid idea and we don't need our governments acting
like mothers. We need to teach people to drink and eat in portions
instead of large amounts, but forcing the government get involved
isn't answer. Mainly, because the government usually screws these
things up. We can agree America is getting fatter, but education is
the key, and not more laws on the books. A smarter and well informed
population can make better decisions than clamping them on from above with laws.
What I don't like is
conservative jumping on this bandwagon. Side note: If Palin is what
the right has to offer, they're in more trouble than I thought. And
Palin is one of the reasons the left and right can't work together
anymore. I have many right-leaning views, but they're so pig-headed
that the left seems more reasonable. And, I love the fact that Obama
has become more “center-right”, but they're not even willing to
work with him.
You better believe
she didn't come up with this soda gag. And, it only annoys me every time she pulls one of these visual stunts. Do you remember the blacked out McCain hat?
