Think the current puritanical streak in the US is strong probably enough to push this into the mainstream. A few setbacks in court ain’t going to change anything once the zealots have their teeth in. Thank god we live in the freest country in the world, eh? How amusing that they’ve already lined the fatties up, too. Which vice do you think is next after they’ve rid Jesusland of tobacco and obesity?
