Republicans: Large sodas are unhealthy, so I choose not to drink them.
Democrats: Large sodas are unhealthy, I want them banned for everyone.
Then liberals claim they're for individual rights. Hypocrites.
And your position on marijuana...
One's illegal, the other's not, "King".Erm yes, that's the point. And you want to keep it that way.
For the record Bloomberg was originally elected as a Republican, and I oppose this law. Not only is it unnecessary nanny statism, it's meaningless and isn't going to solve anything. Other opponents include Bloomberg's 2009 Democratic opponent and much of the City Council (almost all Democrats).
To Anotnio and whoever Parks And What You Meant To Me is (I'm assuming BRTD), how are youy saying there's no good legal basis behind the ruling? Did you even read the opinion? The precedent seems pretty solid here.
OK I see it wasn't so much the law itself that was the issue but how Bloomberg passed it and just using the city's Board of Health as a workaround the City Council. That makes more sense now.
