to decide how much soda they want during a movie? Seriously?

Laws, rules, oversight are for the "small people", see. "Small people" need boundaries and to be told what's what and how its gonna be, see.

Cops, Wall Street predators, and fat cat Napoleonic Mayors are at their level best when unencumbered by a bunch of red tape and sand in their gears that are the silly whims of the unwashed masses, see.
