Governments tax the earth until you're no longer able to have fun. A few irresponsible parents let their children get fat and lack self-control themselves, and then the government wants to protect the rest of us.
One day, they'll pass a law that bans cars over a certain size and speed, for Your Protection. Because too many people broke the speed limit.
Where does government intrusions into daily life end, and personal responsibility begin?
I once heard these wise words:
Freedom isn't safe.
