I too believe that government generally interferes too much, unconstitutionally, in the life of the citizen, but the issue of "fixing weights and measures" is somewhat different. It is a specific power delegated to Congess by Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution. It is not an arrogated power, like so many others today, that Congress has taken on outside the provisions of the Constitution.
