Mmm, yes ... these associations, quangos, NGOs, community organisers -- whatever -- do seem to be replacing unions and they ARE international ('Red' alert). Had someone from a British NGO ring the bell the other day; said I wasn't interested.
Sure, they might not have the same names in every country, but the same goals are whizzing around the world through an organised effort.

The pet shop story (incredible) ties in with the control that organisations such as the Humane Society and animal shelters have. Think RSPCA and all the power they exert. No, we cannot have a private enterprise, no-questions-asked business selling dogs and cats. They won't ask enough questions of the customers, investigate their homes, etc.
As to the obesity article, I agree that smoking cessation has definitely bumped up the fat (and general crabbiness) quotient. The fewer people smoking, the more overweight (and unpleasant) people we have. However, as the comments state, there is also a problem with hormones in meat as well as corn syrup sweeteners.
The "attack on liberty" article is a blinder, too!
The top article IS indeed a TOP ARTICLE !
I hope that other blogs link to it too...
