I'm in full agreement with you on this matter. In the past, our country =
believed in personal liberty and self-government -- even to our own =
hurt. Now, we approach the State as our "nanny" -- to protect us from =
our choices (or, more likely, to keep others from their choices that I =
disagree with).
But don't get me started on the loss of our personal liberties!=20
Best,
