“If this were true - all of the nanny state lovers would have been gone years ago - but they are permitted to remain, no matter how ignorant they get with those of us who refuse to accept any of it.”

It has been my experience that those that scream the loudest about “nanny state” are libertarians. That is just another form of anarchy.

Of course, I would have to see examples of what you call “nanny state.” If you mean keeping illicit drugs illegal....that IS NOT nanny state, that is keeping a safe an ordered society.

Now IF you mean someone legislating the fat content of food, then that would be “nanny state.”

Then you don't have a clue of which I'm speaking. I have no use or anarchy.

I you have seen no samples of the "nanny state" of which I speak, you have not been paying a bloody bit of attention. "Nanny state" has not a thing to do with illicit drugs....but you would know this if you paid attention.

Now IF you mean someone legislating the fat content of food, then that would be “nanny state.”

As I said - you have not been paying attention.

Actually, it’s more of an excuse for JBTs to shred the remaining scraps of the Constitution that we have left.
