One of the things that befuddles me about our society right now is people's absolute belief that they know how others should live their lives, and the willingness to impose those beliefs on others.

I'm with you on the dog thing. Some people are fucking stupid. I can't possibly think this particular issue is a major problem that needs organization and awareness raising. And what is she going to do? Research each breed to see which should and shouldn't run long distances? Pass out literature to the really
really in-shape people warning them not to run too long if they have _______ type of dog? How many dogs are passing out and dying from heat exhaustion? How many people run with their dog so far that this happens more than once? The whole thing sounds pretty fucking ridiculous and seems like a tremendous waste of time and energy.
But Bloomberg's huge soda ban, I'm all for. If you need 64 ounces of soda, buy multiple sodas.
