  • PongGod, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4So what happened to all that Friedmanesque "free to choose" rhetoric Gov. Terminator used to be so proud of? Oh, that's right, he got elected - never mind.

    But you gotta love a black market in candy.
  • MrDuke77, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3More feel-good, liberal, brain-dead, busy-body foolishness failing to achieve the intended goals and resulting in unintended consequences...and no liberals having to admit their stupidity and being forced to retract the dumb law. An excellent learning opportunity for the kids to "just say no" to liberal BS and embrace freedom/conservatism!
  • huertanix, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3People used to laugh at the idea of smoking bans in the last century, but this whole country will probably look like Salt Lake City by the next.
  • Jashobeam5, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3This article seems to mourn the fact that parents, not schools have control over what their kids eat and buy when they are not at school.
  • tvanwyk, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2Viva la revolucion de los bombones!
  • rkbabang, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Damn, the last line in that article was ominous.

    "But as long as kids can get candy, from the store and at home, they will continue to bring it to school, Nason said."


    How long until they try to cut off the supply one level up?
