Instead of regulating everyone's sugar intake

[Nuclear Unicorn]

89. bad = bad. Why draw a false distinction?

If you're going to meddle in people's lives for their own good because it is assumed they can't do better on their own then why stop at just sugar?

Let's look at everything that can leave someone ata statisitical disadvantage: sugar, vehicle exhaust, second-hand smoke, single-parent households...

I do not want to set-up a regime of government that allows the worst sort of meddling to be prepetrated by those pretending to have the best of intentions. It is not a question of "if" power becomes exploited and abused, only "when." The best safeguard is to keep that much power out of the hands of those who can use the law and the courts and the police to make us miserable. If someone is foolish enough to say, "We have no reason to fear some sort of Pat Robertson figure gaining too much power; this is America!" Then ask, "So why do you know the name Pat Robertson?"
