We all know my feelings on the irritating nanny state. I’ll tell ya, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear a politician speak out against this constantly spreading disease…

Most people haven’t heard of the biggest nanny state outrage because the MSM (especially Fox News) is going through considerable lengths to keep the lid on the news (journalists are being told to can the stories they were doing on it):
A new law called IMBRA forces all websites to do background checks on American men who wish to communicate with foreign women (because American women only want to date American men it does not matter that this law is “gender neutral”). IMBRA also forces foreign women NOT to be allowed to broadcast their personal information such as a cell phone number or postal address. They must sign in writing that they have read the background check of an American before the Nanny State allows HER to communicate with the man who wants to maybe just say hello.
IMBRA is unnoticeable for those who communicate only via the web because clicking on browser tabs can be taken as a written affidavit of having read a background check. But the law has removed about 20,000 foreigners from the web who wanted Americans to call them on the phone or send them a paper letter. Because of the delay that exists for many between Internet sessions, many Americans on vacation in foreign cities have, because of IMBRA, failed to connect with someone nice because that person would have been able to answer the phone and get to know him while he was in her city, but only read her email a few days after the American flew home to the US, most likely never to return.
Both the feminists on the left and the Christian evangelists have been saying on various blogs that only sluts would meet an American on short notice so this aspect of the law…where the nanny state completely blocks a relationship from ever happening…is no big deal.
I try to tell them: Please read the book “1984″. Its main plot-line is a government that feels it has to intervene in personal relationships and they “disclosed” to Julia at the end that Winston had broken under torture and said “do it to her” (torture her).
Once a comment takes its lead attacking FOX I get the feeling that I shouldnt read the rest of it.
Which I honestly didnt.
Someone tell me if I was wrong.
Because I swear to god after the first sentence I stopped reading.
At the risk of hurting my anti-smoking arguments, I am with you when it comes to the stupidity of some of the more recent attempts to ban whatever comes to mind. I have said many times that I draw my lines very carefully and moving smoking outside was far enough for me. Banning drive-thrus and drive-in movies seems to be a futile attempt to fulfill an agenda with no real purpose or end.
I’ll be watching the news for the next ban…(maybe they’ll ban religion hehe).
Maybe just mainstream religion
It’s what we’ve always said though. It’s not about smoking, it’s about legislating convenience for people. Once the precedent was set to allow legislators to create laws based on a principle of trying to make everybody’s life perfect and safe from themselves (and I would almost dare to say that smoking bans did not open the door so much as seat belt laws), it would become a floodgate where everything from trans fats to idling cars (I heard Minneapolis put a new idling ordinance in place?!) to whatever else that somebody might not like could be banned so people could be safe from all those evils…
Gotta love it though!
Hi Ryan, Wanted you to know I will be interviewing the Bob Barr campaign October 9th on my radio show. So who ever has any questions that would be a great opportunity for you to ask them! Hope you’re doing good!
