Exactly. The idea of taking risks and controlling their own lives is absolutely frightening to a NY'er (City).

They LOVE their big government. The more, the better.

Turn NYC into a dry town. That will curb the liquor.

I keep clicking on these bloomberg threads expecting it to be some sort of joke thread. Sadly they aren't.

Bloomberg is one of the biggest chit bag, ******* elitist's in American politics. I have a good idea, why don't freedom loving Americans insert the great big red, white and blue up his ass.

The Mayor can propose it, but it is the city council that approves it.

As much as I love it, its stuff like this that eases my misgivings about leaving NYC. Bloomberg is taking nanny state to an unprecedented level. For a man who once and/or may still identify as a libertarian, he's going against his MO something fierce.
