In a blow struck at parents everywhere in the city on the bay, San Francisco's Board of Interfering Busybody Nannies Supervisors has banned Happy Meals, which will probably result in an increase in instances of child abuse, for which the Nannies Supervisors can then take the kids away from parents to be raised... "properly" since we all know only the Village Idiots Elders are wise enough to be allowed to exercise any judgement.
So, they take away more opportunties to exercise judgement, and then wonder why people don't exercise better judgement... dammit, I'm stuck in a vortex of swirling self-reinforcing redundancy.
Mind you, exposing your child to people prancing about with their junk out in the open, sticking their tongue down someone's throat in public at a Gay Pride event is okay, encouraged, and celebrated, but damn you, don't you get a Happy Meal for your kid, you stupid bint. And since we know we can't trust you, we're going to make sure you can't even *find* one without driving out into the dark grey world of the Improperly Supervised!
Heh. "Telephone for Robert Reich."



and tell the parents "for one penny more you can BUY the toy, but only with the purchase of a happy meal."
it's noo longer given away with the meal. the parent purchased it. problem solved.
Honest injun.
Gad.
If I may add a bit of fuel to your fire of righteous indignation, adults should please feel free to google/bing "Up You Alley Fair" for a photographic record of public behavior that does not provoke action by the esteemed Board of Supervisors. Additionally, the Mayor of San Francisco is now the Lieutenant Governor-Elect of the State of California and the city's Attorney General is now the Attorney General-Elect of the same state. Onward Progressive Soldiers, there are Cracker Jacks out there to be controlled. Rewarded behavior tends to be repeated; B.F. Skinner said that.
The fact that they are still sucking at the public trough is proof enough that the people lack any better judgement to exercise...
Sigh. What would Harry Callahan and Mike Stone say?

I hit "send" and went to bed..I wake up and it's posted twice?
Upon further consideration, let us mark this branch of the thread closed, shall we? Don't want the redlegs too upset. Lord knows how far the heavy artillery of Castle Argghhh!! can reach...
Never, ever, wonder why we left the Golden State. Harry Callahan would be spitting up. The Gipper is spinning in his grave.
One good earthquake or Lex Luthor should do it.
As to Folsom Street and the fair, what do you expect from a state that named its most notorious prison 'Folsom?'
Even in the 80s, there were gay cops patrolling Polk (no pun intended) Street. I don't know why they bothered...

For the curious out there, You Have Been Warned. You do NOT want to watch that video!
The reaction vids, on the other hand, are hilarious.
