Ban, Ban, Ban!

Sweet Mother! Reading down a list of RSS fed news sources these days is an alarming activity. Smoking Ban this, Airgun Ban that, Hunting Ban the other. It's like reading the back cover of a book about a "dark and dismal future, where nothing and no one is safe from the ever tightening grip of a state bent on controlling everyone and everything" - "A gripping read" Stephen King, "I almost shat my pants" - Harold Pinter, "Educational" - T. Blair.
