Question Earthority!

“On the surface it seems a good thing. You might assume that the legislature felt it had no business dictating what form its citizens chose to enjoy their water. You might hope that the choice was left for the citizenry to make and not government. But you’d be wrong. It has nothing to do with enhancing freedom, or liberty or choice. It just isn’t convenient yet for the government to ban bottled water …. all the environmental and energy concerns aren’t that important if it inconveniences a government plan. Then cranking out those bottles of water is, in relative terms, a good thing. But when they decide that they’re ready to boot the bottle, the good people of Ontario will be weaned as well. Choice for the government is fine, but not, apparently, the citizenry.” (11/10/08)
