I don’t have time to write a long thoughtful response to Colby’s post about creeping totality, but I have to tell you — and I mean this admiringly — that he has produced the most impressive burst of wind on the subject that I have seen in a long time.
After all, what Colby says boils down to slippery slope. Enough people dislike smoking sections in restaurants that a majority of their elected representatives feels comfortable in banning them — and this will inevitably lead to the total ban and destruction of pre-1978 literature.
As Colby himself pointed out last September, this has “the cognitive status of a fart”.
Good night.
