I think it is unhealthy that so many people read so many books that promote moral decay. The United States is obese with books about sex, stealing and violence. Please contact Obama today, for it is Time to Tax such pollution. The Bible should be exempt from this tax because it encourages good reading habits and promotes self-discipline.

The words freedom and self-discipline mean nothing to Michael F. Jacobson, PH.D. Like throwing bloody meat to sharks Mr. Jacobson, PH.D. wants everyone "to encourage your local, state, and federal legislators and health officials to support soft drink taxes."

Thanks to calorie deprived brains like Mr. PH.D. they want the Federal government to police your soda drinking preferences. The only thing this will lead to is abuse of power and poverty. Will the laws ever end? In spite of the facts all around Mr. PH.D that the the Federal government is destroying the liberty of all, he is worried about your soda can drinks. This is what happens when worship of the living God is replaced with the idolatry of man. If Mr., er, Dr. Jacobson cannot win his battle preaching his style of eating, then it is non of his business.

The LORD has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, which in anger struck down peoples with unceasing blows, and in fury subdued nations with relentless aggression. All the lands are at rest and at peace; they break into singing. Even the pine trees and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say, "Now that you have been laid low, no woodsman comes to cut us down." The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you- all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones- all those who were kings over the nations. They will all respond, they will say to you, "You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us." (Isaiah 14:5-10)
