Earlier today the fascist and tyrannical New York City city council passed a law banning cigarette sales to those under 21 [thanks, Dormin111]. No doubt the fascist and tyrannical mayor Mike Bloomberg currently has a wide grin: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/council-oks-raising-smoking-age-18-21-article-1.1502047 Has anyone else observed that while the U.S. Federal Government has a libertarian Bill of Rights and a fairly pro-freedom Constitution it must adhere to, the cities and 50 states of America have virtually no such thing? Although state constitutions are fairly pro-freedom, the overall power of the 50 states and their constituent cities to create fascism and socialism is mostly unlimited. That's why RomneyCare passed easily in Massachusetts while ObamaCare had to jump through many legal hoops to finally get passed. I'm disgusted and terrified to see how tyrannical the cities and states of America are today, both in theory and in practice. The Federal Government, by comparison, is almost a model of gov't restraint and libertarianism.
