Our politicians and moral leaders are also health care
professionals. We should have known this: Remember when the Washington
administration taught us how to sneeze? There is very little they think
us capable of. And they think very highly of themselves. A bad
combination.
Now comes the esteemed New York
administration banning large drinks with sugar in them. No more "large
coffee, cream and sugar" for me. Banned? The entire menu of popular
sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and sports
arenas, but not diet sodas, dairy based drinks or alcohol.
As crazy as this sounds, what is difficult to
understand is the tolerance. Once you have made the moral decision to
ban a neighbor's behavior, why be forgiving, especially when the
forgiven objects have so much to damn them, like alcohol?
How can the qualities of moral outrage be strained?
