I just heard about your proposed legislation to ban iPods on the streets of New York. I think that this idea is not only unnecessary, but completely impractical. Are you really prepared to waste government resources handing out tickets to law-abiding citizens who are hoping to enjoy their music while walking to work/school/their home? Do you know just how many people use iPods and other DAPs in New York City? Do you even know what DAP stands for? I apologize if this email sounds angry and patronizing, but based on the recent reaction of politicians in Massachusetts to a marketing campaign, I'm seriously doubting how tech savvy and in touch with reality some politicians are. I hope you ultimately decide not to continue with this ridiculous ban. I didn't put you in office to tell me where I can and cannot listen to my music.

For too long consumers have suffered from poorly rendered textures and a gooey experience that leaves a bad taste in their mouths. Prepare yourself naysayers and heathens! The time is nigh for a revolution of culinary connectedness. At the next World Wide Confectioners Conference, Apple will unleash...
