Bloomberg’s bad vibes

The Issue: Mayor Bloomberg’s allowing Trojan to distribute free vibrators after first stopping the company.

Didn’t the city hand out free condoms in subways across the city with their logos on it a few years back (“Free Vibrators On Again! Oh, Yes!” Aug. 10)?

I don’t see the big deal in Trojan’s handing out vibrators for one day. Mayor Bloomberg needs to stop micromanaging things like this and worry about stuff like the eight shootings that happened last Tuesday night.

The fact that Nanny Bloomberg initially stopped the distribution of free vibrators shows that he has reached the final limit of government control. He will stop food from tasting good, reduce secondhand smoke and scale back the chugging of 16-oz. sodas, but force people to be masters of their domain? Never.

Boyfriend or machine — what’s the difference if the goal is self-pleasure? However, machines cannot love, self-sacrifice or commit.

Despite recreational sex, that part of sexuality has not changed. Trying to repress it has created an epidemic of single mothers, fatherless children and irresponsible men.

Trojan is laughing all the way to the bank as family life continues to implode.
