I hate to put it this way, but it's obvious to me that much of our mutual anglo society isn't very bright. It tends towards pseudo-science. It tends towards the idea that it can abuse itself thru unhealthy living and someone else will rescue them later. It gravitates towards whatever source that's pumping out feel-good-ism instead of good advice.

Some people NEED a nanny state to keep them from destroying themselves. Not pretty, but true.


Some people might need nannying, but the vast majority don't. Yet they still have to suffer being told what they should and shouldn't do. In my book the state is far too controlling, at the expense of general freedoms.

As for pseudo-science, it is often that and the misuse of statistics (a similar evil) that are used by governments in their twisted reasoning to justify these removals of freedom.
