… let the next Mass Extinction Event begin! Think about it … the sooner Englandistan becomes a desert wasteland the happier its denizens will be …
There’s a diabolical logic to it: Don’t give the peasants yet another reason to revolt; the situation is already near the boiling point. Makes perfect sense if you’re one of the government or corporate creatures responsible for the mass poisoning.
That much is clear. More speculatively, one could say there’s another form of “reasoning” behind it: Train the public to shut up and stop asking questions. Demoralize them. Show them that even if the law and justice are on their sides, the government can and will do what it wants, even if (or especially if) it destroys average people’s lives.
Guess next they’ll make pitchforks illegal. 
Well, they’ve already banned certain kind of knives and machetes, as well as (no kidding) ninja swords! I’m sure that will stop violent crime. 
Englandistan is Lost … as are most likely the rest of us.
I’ve been practicing turning my key. Ready to meet in Kansas anytime.

P.S. please bring the oranges
Edit: PS = Postscript. The Doc likes it when we spell things out. Good policy
… but wait … there is this …
Well, yes, civilization is circling the drain. I doubt a ban on anything is gonna stop that. Unless maybe somebody decides to ban homelessness or move homeless camps to outside the city centers. Either one would probably violate somebody’s “human rights”!
