At the moment, we could do well to encourage better eating/exercise habits SOLELY because the increased cost of spiraling diabetes and heart disease will either cost billions or lower our population/life expectancy drasticly. And while we are at it improving public transit wouldn't be a bad idea either. For historical accuracy, one needs to remember that in the 60s "radical leftists" called for fare elimination on the NYCTA and MABSTOA.So, you will note I said nothing about devils of any color, and have no interest in such BS. What I do have interest in is a better place fpor our descendants. |
