I find a similiar syndrome with a completely different topic-smoking and drinking.Since Nanny State liberals try to deter bad personal habits then somehow the logic becomes,IT IS OK TO SMOKE AND GET DRUNK.Just to show up the meddlers.

Yeah,that'll show those liberals!
Well put. Sometimes I am guilty of that kind of Self Sabotage also !
