new york city is either devoid of any problems that need to be solved whatsoever, or trying to become the first communist city in the united states.
according to the new york post, they have banned 16 things in 2006.
trans-fats.
aluminum baseball bats.
purchase of tobacco by 18- to 20-year-olds.
foie gras.
pedicabs in parks.
new fast-food restaurants (but only in poor neighborhoods).
lobbyists from the floor of council chambers.
lobbying city agencies after working at the same agency.
vehicles in central and prospect parks.
cell phones in upscale restaurants.
the sale of pork products made in a processing plant in tar heel, n.c., because of a unionization dispute.
mail-order pharmaceutical plans.
candy-flavored cigarettes.
gas-station operators adjusting prices more than once daily.
ringling bros. and barnum & bailey circus.
walmart.
if the masses don't make a fuss about any of this nonsense, the politicians might as well charge them one of the highest income tax and property tax in the country (or have they done that already?)
