And Yet Sodomy Gets Promoted By Law

I have been an avid walker for decades, but this is preposterous:

"On September 15, the US Surgeon General issued a new nationwide call to action:  Walk more!...The call to "Step it Up" recognizes the responsibility of urban and city developers, urging communities to promote and design walk-friendly neighborhoods. In all, the five strategic goals presented by the Surgeon General include:
  1. Make walking a national priority [????]
  2. Design communities that make it safe and easy to walk for people of all ages and abilities. [This type of community depends on not having gov't. funded housing.  Oh, the irony!]
  3. Promote programs and policies to support walking where people live, learn, work, and play.
  4. Provide information to encourage walking and improve walkability.  ["Improve walkability"?  You mean better sidewalks?  More parks?  Or is this aimed at yet more interference in our health "care"?]
  5. Fill surveillance [?????], research, and evaluation gaps related to walking and walkability.
The Surgeon General even offers a playlist on Pandora  to listen to during your walks, if you don't already have some favorite music to inspire you to get moving. [Is this a joke?  People ostensibly aren't even able to choose their own music or lectures anymore?  Can you BELIEEEEEVE the extent of patronizing and infantilization this administration practices toward us?!?!?!]"   (source)
