I must assert that my comments do not suggest smoking, over eating, alcohol abuse, etc. is in anyway a proper way to treat your body. What I oppose is the nanny/Orwellian state some choose to endorse. The government and lawyers should not run our lives and I protest this with vigor. Adults should be adults and run your own life. Only a smaller portion of society requires our help like the handicap.

Yeah, but there are many different groups who want more govt rules/intervention/intrusion/etc. i.e.
1.the truly poor...cuz they wouldn't be poor (for long) if the could take care of themselves.
2.Lawyers...cuz they plan to profit from/manipulate new/existing laws.
3.Hollywood...cuz, individually, they're at mercy of some pompous studio exec. for their career/$s (dependency mentality)
4.Liberals..i.e. those not in control of their own destiny see 3 (above).
ETC.
