Moving the Line to Repulsive

  When people are attempting to get us to accept a behavior or culture we are not willing to embrace, they implement a strategy I call "moving the line". Moving the line is a stratgy to take us into repulsive behavior that we would not allow by taking one giant step. So we are led in that direction by small baby steps through new regulations, covert good intentions and reluctant abdication of our personal choices.
  For anyone who is suspicious of this theory I will elaborate. Allow me to remind you of what was not allowed on a television show forty-five years ago, is now a part of commercials during prime time television our children are watching. In addition, those foods that we considered a part of America are now being labeled addictive and even deadly.
  Finally, beware of anyone who tells you that what you are eating and doing is unacceptable behavior. Not unacceptable enough to ban, just unacceptable enough to be regulated and taxed for the benefit of the children.
