Deciding what is allowed to be sold was. I remember those days. Central Planning at its best.

Name calling is a trait reserved to those that have no other recourse.

You can't stop stupid. Common Sense doesn't apply here. Try again.

Nope, we know the definitions. The fact that Socialism has and indeed almost requires and uses the "authoritarian" model to coerce people is not lost on us. Tell me, by what means is it not allowable to sell 64OZ soda's in NYC?

My guess, you'll use some euphemism for "authority" (law, regulation, dictate, code ... etc.) to describe this mechanism.

Absolutely false. The claims were substantiated, the problem with it was, the claims that Omega-3 Fatty Acids cross over into claims ONLY drugs can make. Therein lies the rub.

If you look at the research on Omega-3 Fatty Acids, the claims are true, the problem is no drug company can make a profit selling something that occurs in nature, without modification.

The problem wasn't the claims, the problem was that the claims are only allowed by the FDA for "Drugs" See the following link for details the FDA is lying about ...

Please make sure you follow all the references at the bottom of this article.

Here is the quote, From the FDA, which makes clear that it is the CLAIMS they have a problem with, not the science behind the claims ..

If eating healthy "prevents, mitigates and treats" disease, then any claims that eating healthy would classify it as a drug. THAT is the problem.

We're going with Political Theory of Social Organization, and the creation of laws to force people into collective thinking/actions (Community), including "exchange" (Not allow to buy a 64OZ Cola!).

I know the definition. The problem is, you don't like the application of the definition to the cases I suggested. In this case, regulating the exchange for 64 OZ colas and Sodium usage in restaurants.

FDA has decided a lot of things, many of which turned out not to be true. According to the FDA, Walnuts are a drug (yes it is true).

ObamaCare / Universal Health Care and Socialism in general tells me I am entitled, regardless of how I eat. Otherwise, we'd ban all the crap food found in our fast food and supermarkets. Have you seen the ingredients on a Twinkie? On the other hand, socialism is trying to ban large sodas and sodium (salt) in NYC so there is that to consider.

Fuck freedom, SAFETY FOR ALL!

I'm convinced that committees are the death of real leadership. A real leader takes advice and makes decisions decisively. Best leaders always have detractors, usually weak people who want a committee to decide things, after all who wants to follow a dictator? It is much easier to put the blame on a good leader than it is to blame a committee.

And Committees tend to make "safe" decisions, but are just as wrong (if not more so) than a strong leader. A real leader can see when things aren't going well, and make adjustments, where a committee only takes up time while everyone is discussing what the best move is.

I have a great disdain for committees, mainly because they are formed to avoid leadership responsibility.

There was a crime, charge him with that crime. Don't make things that aren't a crime, into a crime, simply because they were used to help commit the real crime.

We don't make driving illegal, simply because a car was driven away from the Bank Heist.

The way MS can fix the whole thing is stop exclusivity of game pads and license them. THEN you'll have real choice in controllers.

Good Salespeople cannot be automated away. And contrary to popular opinion, the best ones won't lie to you, because you'll always associate the lie with the person lying.

Good Sales is all about the customer's needs, and making sure you address them. I have told plenty of "customers" that my product/service wasn't a good fit for them and recommended someone/something else. In the end, many of them came back when it was a good fit.

That being said, the best line I had for getting rid of an unrealistic customer... "Looks like you want a good buy" ... "yup" ... "Good Bye!"

Actually, worry about risk, not problems. There are tons of problems in the world, many of which are low risk if you know how to avoid them. However, in this case, there is little one can do to prevent the risk on a personal level, while at the same time, a high probability that such a problem actually come to fruition. AND by the time it does come into being, is already too late for Freedom.

Please, do not take the idea of liberty slipping away slowly, as it is already happening. Liberty is something we must ALWAYS guard diligently.

Define ... non-discriminatory differences?

How does one tell a gender preference towards solitary work (Computer Programming) or towards social type work (nursing, teachers, social work) verses discrimination based on gender by statistics alone?

The problem is, that we are ascribing as discriminatory, things that just might be normal and natural, but statistically looks like gender bias. This is my complaint about under-representation claims, based on statistics alone. Yes, they are underrepresented, but maybe it is because of gender selection (preference) trends.
