More broad sweeping nanny state / anti-privacy laws targeting isolated incidents, so law enforcement can be lazy.

Similar laws have worked so well on other fronts in other states. For example, in Indiana they've successfully prevented dangerous grandmothers from treating their families for colds. /SARC

More broad sweeping nanny state / anti-privacy laws targeting isolated incidents

Like the NYC politician I watched last night - need I mention his party? - proposing that NYC ban all salt usage in restaurants, by the cooks or the patrons, including a $1,000 fine for offending cooks or customers. Turns out his father had found out recently that he had high blood pressure.

Lord, save us from people like these.

Do you want government to track what prescriptions you take and how often you fill them?

Uh....no.

"I think what we're seeing in Georgia," he told the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, "is the beginning of an epidemic."

While certainly a mortal danger, the nanny state is hardly just beginning; it's been clawing its way from the ooze for decades.

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts.
PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
