THE SAME BATTLES BEING FOUGHT REPETITIOUSLY AND SEQUENTIALLY

People come in two flavors; those who are tunneled visioned and see only one focus at a time, and those of us who are multi-taskers and systems oriented while taking in a complete context.

Michael Bloomberg is like a parent trying to control the food intake and outgo of a purging anorexic-bulimic.  He will be fought all the way by people who are intent on having their 'rights' even if it kills others.He is clear that he is denying people nothing.  They may order seconds if they so choose but he is trying to limit the first serving of the over sugared soda, knowing that people tend to finish the whole drink.

On the Martin Bashir show, Friday afternoon, a young man whose name I caught only as Ari, told the audience he is a non-smoker but his girlfriend is a smoker.  He objected to the fact that she is not being permitted to smoke in an outdoor food garden.  If this man thinks for one moment that smoke only circles the smoker, he is wrong!  Outdoors, the breezes carry the smoke so that many are subjected to it in the air they breathe while they are eating.  Perhaps this Ari is sympathetic to his girlfriend but unsympathetic to the people who are allergic to smoke or asthmatic or have COPD  (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) who are out to eat in the open air garden to breathe clean air, as well. 

The current war against women is being raised by equally insensitive people.  I would not want to live in a society that forced a woman to be considered a criminal if she has 6 daughters and wants her husband to be made happy with having a son to do the manly things with, to provide an heir to the family name, or whatever personal reason they may have.  We are not talking about a pervasive trend.  We are seeing only a very rare event as our statistics show in the USA.

Gentlemen, keep the law out of our wombs and stop denying that you are making war on women...you are, without any doubt!  We can only hope you will forfeit your political positions in November for it.
