What DRIVEL! What insanity! It’s outrageous!
People– I live in the stupidest state in the union– yes! It’s even worse than California! Because in California, at least you have fruits and nuts! Here. we have CONTROL FREAKS!
Our state is going bankrupt. The government is totally corrupt. The government is slashing everything, and they’re coming up with billions and billions of new taxes to *try* to pay the bills. OK OK– I exaggerate. The government isn’t slashing EVERYTHING. Their cushy government jobs, with paid vacations and health care plans are all intact. I stand corrected.
But is our government concerned about which foreign country will buy us out to put us in the black ink again? NO! They are concerned about SALT! New York State wants to outlaw SALT!
…a bill [has been] introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.
“No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises,” the bill, A. 10129 , states in part.
The legislation, which Assemblyman Felix Ortiz , D-Brooklyn, introduced on March 5, would fine restaurants $1,000 for each violation.
IDJITS IDJITS IDJITS IDJITS!!!!!!!
I say they should outlaw themselves! New York politicians are terrible for our health. I feel like I’m about to be hospitalized right now!
Salt is not bad for us, you dunderheads! And even if it was, you’d take that wonderful, most elemental seasoning away from us?! It’s the ONLY thing left in this blasted state that makes us HAPPY! Why don’t they just quit their fooling around and outlaw happiness outright?! Why all this pussyfooting around, huh?
IDJITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please– Ohio, Montana, even Pennsylvania for God’s sake– save us! Take us over! Get these jerks away from us, PLEASE. I’ll even consider being absorbed by a Greater New Jersey… wait, no. I just can’t go that far. Well, Pennsylvania, at any rate! Save us!!!! We’re drowning in stupidity and wickedness here.

I was actually hoping for Vermont to sweep in and take over NY…or New Hampshire – I love NH’s motto – LIVE FREE OR DIE!

Now I’ve heard it all. How in the **** are you supposed to bake without it? Have they missed the point that your body NEEDS salt? Hello NY? There’s a reason Roman soldiers were paid with salt!
The very sad part is we PAY these idiots to come up with these idiotic ideas!

Storm– remember, this is government we’re talking about– bureaucracy! They are, by their very nature, NUTS! We need to slap some sense into them. Better yet, I still say we should outlaw bureaucrats. That’ll solve the problems of the world instantly.

Carole– I love NH’s motto, too! Here in New York, it’s more like “Live Free and DIE, Sucker!”

This fetish about salt really has me stuffed. Sure overdoing the salt is bad for you, but thats a matter of personal choice and responsibility. What next? Outlaw sugar, fats?
