I wonder how long before Kathy Hochul signs into law regulations on the permitted colour and shades for belly button lint? Break them and a team of armed SWAT officers will be smashing down your front door, shooting your dog and carting you away to a prison where you'll be gang-raped.

This is off-the-scale petty tyrant stuff.

It is the state in you bedroom, your living room, your life - it is total and absolute control.
