This is why I consider liberals to have won the culture wars.  The
train has left the station.  Examples:

(1.) No score kept in kid's sports; the idea that losing is harmful in some way.

(2.) Pervasive, unnecessary use of safety equipment especially helmets.

(3.) Entitlement mentality: I am owed a house; I am owed a "living
wage"; I am owed a job no matter where I choose to work or how or
what.

(4.) Smoking bans.

(5.) Recently read that a county in my state is going to buy 1000
benches at $1200 per because it will incent exercise.  i.e., our
lifestyle is the government's responsibility.

All of these things have grown out of the grade school notion that the
teacher will tell you where to go, what to do, when to be there, make
sure that you get there, and all you have to do is follow directions.
Oh, and if you don't?  You'll be mildly punished and then released.

Nowadays all grown-ups expect this service as well, but since they no
longer have teachers, they want to government to provide it.
