The nannys drive me nuts too. Every whine they come up with could be altered to attack any group. No one stands up to them. We have a local Walgreens that is carding EVERYONE who asks for a pack of cigarettes...a 72-year old lady was carded last week for trying to buy a cigar for her husband.
I'll never forget seeing an ancient man, leaning on a cane, being turned down for a single beer at a hockey game because he didn't have proper ID.
