A "Health Police" Wish List

Here's a telling example of how liberalism tends not only to be remarkably inconsistent and unable to establish relevant priorities, but is also quite dangerous to individual freedom. The report involves the American Public Health Association (the world's largest organization of public health professionals, by the way) and its post-election calls for...let's see now:

* a ban on serving trans fats in restaurants,
* a treaty instituting global control of alcohol consumption,
* a cessation of abstinence-only sex education, and, oh yes,
* an "immediate initiation" of withdrawl of U.S. forces from Iraq.
