People hate to be nagged and we've been nagged to death over the dangers of pop, trans fats etc. People would prefer having the gov't order them around rather than nag them to death.<br /><br />I don't like being nagged and I definitely don't like being controlled.

So that they can have all the talking points they need at hand.<br /><br />Some fall for it, some don't. <br /><br />But common sense is what sounds reasonable and talking points can be made to sound reasonable, because they dumb down an idea and remove the context and use a catchy hook.Daniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-74669938690652656802012-06-17T10:08:41.577-04:002012-06-17T10:08:41.577-04:00When the average person has been told by his mecha...When the average person has been told by his mechanic that his carburetor is on the fritz, his common sense will accept that as a fact. But when he's told that government studies reveal that he's consuming too many carbs and too much sugar, then his common sense is compartmentalized and shunted to the side. The answers to many of these "obesity" questions is to get the government out of education and especially out of the farm subsidy business, viz., subsidizing the manufacture of corn syrup (for human consumption and also for your gasoline).Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-86668831839300088972012-06-17T09:33:31.357-04:002012-06-17T09:33:31.357-04:00But still one wonders what happened to the common ...But still one wonders what happened to the common sense of the masses!?Dovber Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844826216750275478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-83055307325745387982012-06-17T09:27:25.355-04:002012-06-17T09:27:25.355-04:00Daniel: This is true.

But I shouldn't be baffled, because most Americans have been dumbed down to the challenge of an IHOP kiddie coloring page (aka, a degree in one of the humanities).
