 It seems to me that the various governments are doing exactly what we do, catering to the needs of their guests. In our restaurants if the majority of our guests said that we should not serve foie gras, wouldn't we listen to them? What happened is that the environmental lobby got a loud enough voice in Chicago and created change. The same happened in New York. The same happened 60 years ago when the government starting mandating iodine be put in salt and Florine be put in water. It is the same with smoking bans in public places. It was the same with prohibition and the repeal of prohibition. If I could convince 51% of the residents of my city that we should not drink alcohol, the lawmakers would either change the law for us or we will elect new ones that will. This is how democracy works. Is it not wonderful?  |
