    his intention to outlaw the sale of large sugary drinks (over 16 ounces) in the city. Due to him, food establishments in NYC are prohibited from using trans-fats. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47628473/ns/health-the_new_york_times/#.T8d75cWuXHw                                                      Thoughts?

    Move to PA. Here you can smoke anywhere, buy soda by the pail. Non-alcohol consumers are frowned upon. Speed limit signs are almost non existant, they hang on the walls of the local kids bedrooms. The type of vehicle you drive dictates your safe speed limit. We don't waste tax dollars on guardrails either.

    Who can argue with a guy who had a town named after him? Shanksville, PA!

    The only problem in PA, is, cats are not allowed outside. Other than that its a great state.

    Clonge, unfortunately it was the site of one of the planes which crashed on 911, which was supposed to take out the whitehouse.

    Ann, we have plenty of cats here to keep the rodent population in check. Your cats are welcome here.

    I think it is very wrong in a free democratic country to dictate. Think about that for a moment.  When political figures begin telling us how to live our lives, what to eat, drink, what we drive, what we can carry our groceries home in.  This is not America I grew up in, its a dictatorship. Starting from the highest office.  They have similar laws in San Francisco. Some pending. Not to mention making it illegal to circumcise.  That didn't make it but while you have a town full of do-gooders and whackos this is what you get..

    I am glad I dont live in New York City. But you are right, they try to take away our personal freedom little by little. NH. is still a much better place to live. This is not democracy, sounds more like communism to me.

    Too many think that ' exercising 'freedom rights' means take away your rights. They feel they have a right to exclude you and I from living our lives as we wish. Also, freedom of speech, they have this right, not us on the right, we have no rights to speak - If we do, we are called racist, warmongers, etc, we are even sued for saying what we feel. 'I am offended' is a major tool in removing your freedom of speech-- And "I am offended' is grounds for a lawsuit.

    NYC will become the restaurant capital of the world and other cities will follow the lead. Remember when smoking in restaurants was outlawed?

    I doubt it. Everyone will move to Canada instead.

    We're gonna have to tighten up our southern border to keep you "illegals" from entering ! ;-)
