The Laboratory
By Mitch Berg
On Tuesday, I took a rare chance to listen to the Dennis Prager show. I don’t get out much over the mid-day, so it was fun.
He started talking about San Francisco’s probably-upcoming ban on pets. I expected him to bag on it.
He didn’t. According to Prager, it’s a good idea.
And by the time he got done talking, I agreed.
Think about it; San Francisco’s ban on pets follows closely follows moves to ban circumcision, McDonalds Happy Meals, Junior ROTC and for all I know having more than one child are a spectacular lesson in what “progressivism” really means.
The old joke is that under liberalism, everything that isn’t mandatory is banned- and San Francisco is getting closer and closer to it every day.
And what a wonderful lesson for people – having an object lesson in the inevitable end-result of progressivism right there for all to see.
It’s like a lab experiment – for everyone!

I guess that’s why the Feds decided to use Alcatraz as a prison: build an institution that takes away individual liberty in a place of breathtaking beauty, hoping the inmates would be comforted. San Francisco remains a place of pristine beauty, but I’d never live there. A Gulag on the Bay is still a Gulag.

I wonder if we could draw a correlation between San Francisco’s steady slide into complete idiocy and legalized marijuana.

Nice one Golfdoc50, from now one I think we should all refer to San Francisco as the “Gulag on the Bay.”

No Kermit, it goes back before that. At the very least it goes back to the invention of LSD on the other side of the bay.

Don’t forget that the Boy Scouts are banned from public property in San Fransicko.

do they have a “Happy to pay for a better San Francisco” PAC?
