But the freaking FedGov sticking its nose in here goes BEYOND a simple power grab in to outright Nanny Statism. People can hurt themselves by drinking too much water or eating too many Twinkies. GET OFF OUR BACKS!!! There is NO AUTHORITY writen into the Constitution to even come close to this crap they are pulling.
WE assume the risks. WE are adults perfectly capable of making our OWN decisions. If we end up croaking from brain cancer or an enlarged heart, WE knew the risks and were willing to accept them. That's just more resources for the rest of you guys to leech from each other.
Same goes for smoking, drinking, and not wearing a seat belt. And don't give us that lame assed "insurance cost" BS either. Its a circular argument for socialism and you damn well know it...
Sorry... but I really felt that need to rant. None of the above is necessarily directed at anyone here, but should be taken generally...
