Pretty sure one could still go to the grocery store and buy a 2 or 3 liter bottle...

Or buy twenty 16 oz sodas from a qualifying restaurant.

Sure, there are loopholes, and ways around the proposed ban. But, you are not troubled in the least by the attempt by government to put the citizens under ever more control?

I didn't support it, but as far as f**ked up government policies, this is pretty mild. I'm more worried about the waste of trillions in the Middle East, the lack of coherent policy to address global warming, attempted devaluation of US currency via Federal Reserve counterfeiting, etc. This is about #656743467 on my worry list.

Yeah but what about the slippery slope?
