Bad news: The Surgeon General wants to stop all indoor smoking in public places, never mind about what people want...
Good News: Copenhagen stock goes thru the roof.
ReasononlineBlog points out a little noted Chesterton Satire where the Fabians rule and Islam takes over...see LINK2 also...
The Fabians are the socialist/progressives of their day: read no wine, no religion, and no meat. And in the past, puritans made such things sins, now they are health hazards to be forbidden for your own good...
Chesterton has many poems praising beer and good cheer: NOT because he supports drunkenness, but because God gave us the little pleasures of life to enjoy (not misuse).
But Noah he sinned, and we have sinned; on tipsy feet we trod,
Till a great big black teetotaller was sent to us for a rod,
And you can't get wine at a P.S.A., or chapel, or Eisteddfod,
For the Curse of Water has come again because of the wrath of God,
And water is on the Bishop's board and the Higher Thinker's shrine,
But I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the wine.
