Так кто же станет следующим Президентом?

[crazy-mike]

это к унтамед вопрос.. она в Америке пожила - все о ней знает

Просто если такого закона нет , то Обамушку даже "кайзеровским социалистом" нельзя назвать!

[Izold]

то есть, стрелка клонится к тому, что Обама скорее фашист нежели социалист... с величием государства, сконцентрированном в нём самом, в "спасителе" нации...
позор тем небдительным, которые его за социалиста принимали!

нужно всё же уточнить существование аналога "закона о чистоте пива" - тогда можно делать более определённые выводы.
Просто вся эта "классификация левых" интересна исключительно в историческом контексте. Современная ( пост-индустриальная ) реальность с ней вообще ничего общего не имеет.

Not only is the brewing industry heavily regulated, it’s also burdened by strict taxation along with odd and often ridiculous laws.

The U.S. Government makes about $13 billion on beer taxes annually – seven times the profits made by the entire beer industry. The Federal government charges an excise tax on beer sold in the U.S. at $18.00 per barrel, or 58 cents per gallon, and each state also has excise tax, ranging from 2 cents per gallon to $1.07 per gallon.

At the Federal level, beer is regulated by the Alcohol Tax and Trade Board (ATTB) (formerly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms). They ensure that the “Government Warning” appears on every label and they also review the label of each and every beer that is sold in the U.S. And unlike other food products, on which nutritional information is required, nutrition facts are expressly forbidden from appearing on beer labels. Paraphrasing the ATTB, consumers should not consider products that contain alcohol to be in any way healthful.

Individual states maintain and enforce a wide variety of beer laws, as well:
•A Florida law, dating back to 1965, requires containers to be one of four sizes: 8, 12, 24 or 32 ounces only, prohibiting craft brewers from packaging in 22 ounce "bombers", 750ml bottles, or any number of European style bottles.
•After collecting applications and fees, states issue licenses to accounts that want to sell beer. The number of licenses available is commonly limited by state legislatures, often based on population. In many states distributors are protected by franchise laws. That means a wholesaler is the only legal entity that can sell a specific beer in a particular state or county. Restaurants, bars and stores must all buy from one franchised distributor.
•Some states still limit the varieties of beer available for sale based on strength; anything over 6% alcohol by volume can’t be sold there -even when 80-proof distilled liquor is available!
•In many states, promotional goods with a value cannot be legally given from a supplier to a licensed account. For example, a distributor or brewery can’t legally give glassware or a neon sign away free to an account – it must be sold.
•In Texas, any beer over 4% alcohol by volume (3.2% by weight) is labeled “ale” without any regard as to whether it is fermented with ale yeast or lager yeast. Any beer –either ale or lager- under 4% alcohol by volume is simply and generically labeled “beer.”
•All draft beer brewed in Utah and all beer sold in Utah stores is 3.2% alcohol by weight (4% alcohol by volume) or less. The only stronger beer (or “heavy beer” as the state calls it) to be found in this state is sold at state liquor stores, or is consumed on-premise at a restaurant or airport lounge.
•In Pennsylvania, most beer to go is sold only by the case –regardless of bottle size. Cases of beer must be purchased at state run beer stores; if you want a six-pack of beer, you have to purchase it at a tavern.
•All beer sold to go in Indiana must be warm – no beer sold to go can be refrigerated.
•A Tennessee beer delivery truck can stock strong beer or weak beer, but never both at the same time. By law, barleywine can never be delivered on the same truck as light lager -even if they are being shipped from the same warehouse to the same account.
•Perhaps the worst law exists in Maryland, where beer writers must be certified as experts by a state agency in order to be eligible to receive product samples. The beverage writer can receive a maximum of three bottles per brand.

Класс! Закон о чистоте пива есть - но в каждом штате свой!
Т.е. с некоторой натяжкой Обамушку можно считать кайзеровским социалистом со всеми вытекающими из бочки последствиями? ( только вот эти законы были приняты ещё до рождения Обамы )

[Hallucinogen]

Вот это точно подмечено - законов и регуляций касающихся всего на свете здесь до абсурда много, и процесс лавинообразно продолжается на всех уровнях

А ведь количество свободы обратно пропорционально числу законов, ее регулирующих

Но ведь эти законы принимались когда ещё ни одного сперматозоида из участвовавших в зарождении Барака Обамы не было!!!!!!!!!!! Чем в этом случае Обамушка виноват?

я вообще, безотносительно к Обаме...

для гоповцев же виноват он априори во всем, что есть не так, иль может быть не так, иль было, или будет

для них он как тотем какой-то, когда услышат имя - в лице меняются и разум оставляет их тотчас...

а кто его в пивных законах то винит?
единственная претензия, что он, кажется, Бадвайзер выбрал для пития, когда участвовал в пивных посиделках с профессором и полицейским. уж больно безликое пиво...
а так - к пиву Обаму не подавать, он тут не при чём!
