What if he’s got a pointed stick?
Oh, good. A British physicians group is calling for a ban on certain kitchen knives.
The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.
They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.
None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed.
Ye. Gods.
I’ve said that the reason I oppose lots of things that the Nanny Staters want — nationalized health care, red light cameras, RFID tags on kids, .04 DUI limits, bans on hate speech, restrictions on .50 caliber rifles — is often not so much an opposition to the thing itself (although I oppose each of these things).
What I really oppose is the things they’ll want after that. So, until I know what’s next — and here we get a rare glimpse of the tyrant behind the curtain — I oppose what’s before me.
