Proposal to Ban Obese People From Restaurants,
This is the technique used by the left. Restrict the rights, or activities, of a group that is popularly frowned upon. In this case, smokers. The campaign degrading the image of smoking/smokers has been long and intense. At this point, many, when asked, will say, "I don't smoke so why should I have to breath this filth. They are just killing themselves anyway." So, it becomes easy/popular to restrict that activity. People become used to having rights chipped away, because it was a right they chose not to exercise. Whats next? Restrict the rights, or activities, of the obese. Why? Because they are popularly frowned upon. This campaign goes back even further than the anti-smoking campaign.

From banning trans-fats in restaurants, to actually banning the obese from restaurants, the chipping continues. And, the majority sentiment is always the same. "Well, I am completely healthy, so why should I have to pay for the additional health care costs of these fatsos. They are just killing themselves anyway." Now, we have the smokers and the obese, two unpopular groups, losing rights. Who's next? Whoever it is, I anticipate the smokers and the obese will support it with glee. "Now it's your turn." The list goes on and on. SUV owners, gun owners, rich people, old people, white people, males..................
