The war against the fat begins

I like science fiction for two reasons: it's entertaining and gives us a glimpse into the future. Books like 1984 by George Orwell and A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley are great. Movies like V for Vendetta, Gattica, and Aeon Flux also show the nanny state/big brother controlling our everyday lives.

Now, as you can read in this article, one state is considering legislation that would prohibit restaurants from serving fat people! Mark it down - 2008 was the year the U.S. began the war against the fat.

Let's not forget that governments now force bars and restaurants to ban smokers, even though it's private property. Don't forget to read my earlier post regarding California considering to remotely monitor thermostats in people's homes. What's next - are they going to tell us how much water we can have in our toilet bowls? Oh, that's right. They already do that (Clean Water Act of 1991). No more than 1.6 gallons per toilet or you're in trouble mister!

Maybe it's time to view those movies and/or read those books again, so at least we'll know what Amerika will be like soon - don't you agree, comrade?
