We allowed the Government to control what we put into our bodies. Hell, most of us cheered it on. It’s like the old joke: We’ve already determined what we are, now we’re just hashing out the details.
That "we" is a very broad brush. I doubt that most people had anything to do with the creation of the current bureaucracies or many of the policies they inflict up on us. The election of leftist politicians promotes leftist behavior in the government. In that respect, the collective "we" that elected them deserve the consequences.
