Cory,
I agree.
Kinda like the medical industry should be. The way it is now: one
HAS to go through (pay big $) a doctor (and the govt) to get a
prescription drug. The way it should be: one could either choose
to pay for a doctor's advice or choose to bypass the whole
prescription system and save big $. So the way it should be: one
could either choose to pay for the govt's advice on everything
from seatbelts to sex OR NOT. (Wait a minute! Then that wouldn't
be govt; that would be private enterprise!)

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Vic,
Some people look to government for guidance regarding dietary
concerns.
Since the government doesn't (yet) regulate the amount of fat we
can eat,
that is a clear signal to some people that it's ok to eat as much
fat as one
wants. Therefore, it's acceptable for the government to regulate
our diets
by force even if most of us are smart enough to figure out that
poor eating
habits are bad for us.
I would far rather have liberty at the price of your death on the
road
because you were too stupid to wear a helmet, than your thin,
unhappy life
in a fascist state (I'd probably be killed by the government for
speaking
out.)
If you subjugate your natural rights to the government for the
"greater
good", there is no limit to how much of those rights the
government can, and
will, eventually take.
Rather than anarchy, what we need is voluntary government - a
government
which has no more rights than the citizens, and a system based on
title/transfer theory rather than social contract theory. To
those who
believe in a state that must initiate force for the good of some,
that
sounds like anarchy, but it's not.
