The High Price of Not Pushing Back

Beware of independent fruit merchants!
I swear to God, if you are not happy to be an American, you are not paying attention to what is happening in the U.K and Europe. This poor woman is being prosecuted for selling fruit by the pound. That's it -- the entire crime. Never mind that all her customers prefer to use weights and measures they have known their entire life, and never mind that this is not international commerce. Mindless politicians and regulators will find something to legislate and regulate until we end it by taking out a pot of tar and a bag of feathers and painting them up proper. Push back!

Beware of Pantomime Weapons!
This is the kind of thing that makes me think it may be time to stockpile guns, ammunition and antibiotics in anticipation of the coming apocalypse. In the U.K. plastic cutlasses, wooden swords and toy guns that fire out "pop" flags now have to be kept in a safe box in a locked room when not in use. Oh yes, and when in use a "university academic" will be standing by to make sure no rules are broken. Push back!
