We can pass laws to make people be skinny

Mayor Bloomberg, the kazillionaire mayor of New York City, apppointed a commission who attempted to put into law, a restriction in New York city, on movies and cafes and restaurants to limit the size of the "sugary" drinks they could serve. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective, a court barred the law from taking effect and said the law was arbitrary and capricious?

I've thought of a few other "arbitrary" regulations the government could pass that I personally feel warm and fuzzy about and think would make this country a better place to live.

Effective immediately, I believe the government should be mandating that all citizens

1. are limited to only one 8 ounce portion of sugary drinks per day.

2. are required to consume one Multiple vitamin every day

3. cannot eat a hot dog unless it contains at least 50% soy product

4. are required to enjoy the movie they are watching even if unhappy about drink size.

5. cannot wear polyester shirts or blouses to any public venue unless certified to be "no child labor".

6. cannot have any ear wax showing if riding on public transportation

7. must walk on the 50% portion of any public sidewalk for their direction

8. cannot whistle in any public area unless "in key"

9. may not use anything except organic suppositories for constipation

10. cannot say a bad word when speaking of a public elected official

11. must eat carrots, green beans, or squash with one meal per day.

12. cannot eat carrots, green beans, or squash at any time unless organically grown

13. can smoke in public but cannot exhale

14. cannot mug a person and take more than 50% of their cash or more than one credit card

15. cannot wear pants or shorts that the waist line hangs more than 12 inches below the navel.

16. cannot purchase food from any restaurant without signing affidavit of understanding of calorie count.

17. cannot ride any public transportation or watch a Broadway show without proper undergarments.

18. cannot use any rectal thermometer which has not been pre-tested by inspector before purchase.

19. any tv set which is tuned to Fox News for 30 minutes or more, must also be tuned to MSNBC or Bill Mahr for an equivalent amount of time or screen will go dark.

20. Mexican restaurants must begin buying carbon credits in amount equal to the carbon footprint increase that their diners produce in public flatulence.

21. At all public sport events an equal number of people must cheer for each team.

22. For the sake of civil unity and harmony, any citizen who writes a critical letter to any government official must also "Like" on Facebook at least one government official from the same party.

23. All riders of public transportation must smile while on the means of transportation.

24. Everyone should pay a voluntary tax of 1 cent to send or receive an email.

25. And lastly, no one can criticize anyone without at least smiling while they do so.
