From Goldstein's “The next Obamacare target: Your bacon sandwich”
The argument that an increased federal involvement in the health care industry will over time lead to ever more intrusive regulations on our bodies “for our own good” is one I’ve been making for years now. For my troubles, I’ve been called “paranoid” and “foaming” — and been accused of backing the kind of dogmatic libertarianism that would allow businesses to poison customers while the market sorted things out.
Of course, such a complaint is ludicrous. My point has always been that giving the government such a vested financial interest is dangerous precisely because the feds wield the kind of regulatory power that can take away our freedoms, all the while justifying such decisions based on a combination of what they’d call sound fiscal responsibility and improving “public health.” The result? Liberal fascism.

Warmth causes CO2. From Item #21
here:
Global warmings result in an increase in atmospheric CO2 as warmed oceans emit their dissolved CO2. Global coolings result in a decrease in atmospheric CO2 as cooling oceans absorb atmospheric CO2. Temperature variations precede those CO2 variations by several hundred to a thousand years, thus indicating that it is the temperature variations that cause atmospheric CO2 changes and not the reverse. The human contribution to the cycle is trivial and furthermore the so-called “greenhouse effect”, touted as the mechanism by which atmospheric CO2 controls weather, has long been known to be devoid of physical reality. Accordingly, proposed measures of “carbon control” will have no effect on the weather but instead will seriously damage the Nation’s economy and the reliability of its electric generating capacity: a system that is currently working quite satisfactorily and is entirely independent of foreign sources of energy. Clearly, that system for supplying the Nation with its essential need for reliable electricity “ain’t broke”…and “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
