Illegal Drugs? Illegal Food? Where will it stop? In time we will all be outlaws.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” (Atlas Shrugged
1957)
One thing to keep in mind is that Los Angeles is in California, a State that is technically bankrupt.

Of all the ingredients in a bacon dog, the bacon is the least risky. It is a preserved product. Go with smoked bacon and you could leave it out in the hot sun on the street all day. So I’m suspicious as to this attack on fine tasty food? Is it because bacon is disapproved of for healthy diet reasons or something more insidious, until bacon is banned we will not be a large muslim country. If you want to start a holy war, try to ban bacon.
