Someone needs to stand up for the right to self-determination. If I want to eat a Big Mac and smoke a cigar you shouldn't be able to mobilize the government to stop me.



Big false equivalence there. You are looking at millions of preventable deaths because of this lobbyist's action. Possibly also your own: watch out for the next flood, don't get caught outside with broken car AC in black-flag heat, watch out for tornadoes, dengue mosquitoes...


Countries with maximal self-determination tend to become countries where organized crime rules.


Many of us enjoy this type of life style.
