Crazy me, all this time I've had the impression that New Yorkers were spunky people. Will they just say no when their mayor dictates what color underwear they have to buy? Or will they wait until he determines when they can walk outside or how many times a week they can eat out? <br /><br />Inquiring minds...meemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104303592278897991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-733022800590753982013-03-06T14:47:19.886-05:002013-03-06T14:47:19.886-05:00Side bar to Mr. Cuomo--thank you for supporting th...Side bar to Mr. Cuomo--thank you for supporting the PA and Ohio economies where sparklers are legal.<br /><br />And BTW, you represent the entire state not just NYC even though NYC seems more like a state of its own.<br /><br /> <br /><br />As a lawyer you should know better.

You must take risks every moment.<br /><br />To preserve life, we certainly minimize risk but we must face it. The only 'safety' truly offered by politicians today is the intellectual and moral equivalent of dead.<br /><br />You don't ban automobiles because people get killed in them. But I very much doubt that the automobile could even be introduced into our statist and increasingly tyrannical society today. The politicians and bureaucrats would jump all over it on behalf of their false, and morbid, concept of 'safety'.Doug Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620167852028046807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-89003520531066349972013-03-06T10:03:10.797-05:002013-03-06T10:03:10.797-05:00Evgeni Akhremenko, why wait?

In the New York City of today, a man can do whatever he wants, except order a soda, have some salt, drive his car through midtown, smoke, drink and about forty thousand other things." Not to mention own guns, drive a cab without paying a fortune for a medallion or for the government's permission to drive a cab, cross the street without being struck by a legalized road warrior cyclist, offering a restaurant menu without calorie counts, and so on. <br /><br />I recall the story here of novelist Ayn Rand and her sister. Her sister, her favorite and one of two others who perished during WWII, came to New York City from the Soviet Union with her husband at Rand's expense (after a long search brokered by the State Department), and it should've been a joyful reunion after half a century of separation. But New York depressed the sister, because there were too many decisions and choices to make. She and her husband returned to the Soviet Union, where decisions were made for them. As Daniel points out, too many Americans and New Yorkers are of a similar mind. They want the values made possible by capitalism, but not capitalism itself. It isn't possible. They will learn that the hard way. <br />Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-88787200651217129682013-03-06T04:54:29.561-05:002013-03-06T04:54:29.561-05:00Unlike its predecessor, the Russian FSB is not muc...Unlike its predecessor, the Russian FSB is not much interested in throttling capitalism.<br /><br />But American mayors are a lot more powerful than the KGB secret police ever was at the height of its power - they can ban supersized soda. Not even the KGB had that kind of power.<br /><br />In some ways we Americans are actually less free than people in Russia, who for all the constraints they may face, are not told how much they can make or on what they can spend it.<br /><br />Moscow on the Hudson is here - in NYC and Robin Williams' punch lines are no longer as funny as they were in the Cold War days. The circumstances have been reversed and most Americans don't appreciate the irony of their situation.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-8958096104390926902013-03-06T04:53:08.778-05:002013-03-06T04:53:08.778-05:00^^Imperialism and capitalism are two different thi...^^Imperialism and capitalism are two different things hippy. How is capitalism destroying the world? Is it killing millions of people like Islamism? Maybe it's destroying morality and the family like liberalism? Is it bankrupting everyone like European socialism? Or maybe it's controlling everyone like the late Chavez fascism.<br /><br />It isn't doing any of those things, and the further we move away from it, the worse the world is.112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-77273615708414247212013-03-06T02:14:00.619-05:002013-03-06T02:14:00.619-05:00The Constitution is already gutted.

Of course this is "sold" to the voters (both real and virtual) for choose one: a) the sake of the children b) to protect us from terrorists c) to prevent gun violence d) our health. As our manufacturing base and jobs disappear, more Americans become more dependent upon government largesse. At the same time more illegal immigration is not only encouraged, but rewarded, with many jobs given to the low bid under-the-table crew or the H1B crew. America is circling the drain folks, and our fearless leaders pulled the plug. We now have an oligarchy that is doing everything possible to keep the average american: 1)dependent upon the government 2)a slave to perpetual debt that cannot be cleared in bankruptcy 3)marginally educated 4)disarmed and 5) distracted by meaningless arguments over oxymoronic terms like sequestration and jobless recovery. It is hard to tell which is more useless, the hot air from the politicians (talk about global warming and green house gasses!) or the celebrity worship pushed by the main stream media. I could go on, but you do a pretty good job of describing it in more colorful terms and with better detail.Just a common 'taternoreply@blogger.com
