The more Big Brother tries to take care of us, the less able we become to care for ourselves. With the success of the anti-tobacconists, every conceivable kind of business could suddenly find itself liable, retroactively, for alleged risks dreamed up by unscrupulous lawyers and their conniving clients. Litigation itself could prove hazardous to our health, and to the health of our free enterprise system. This is what we will become if we keep refusing to accept responsibility for our actions.
Life is full of risks.
The only way to avoid them all is not to get out of bed in the morning, and then you run the risk of muscular atrophy. The ones who accept responsibility are called adults. Go peddle your paternalism somewhere else. The American voter is tired of being condescended to. Instead of increasing the restrictions on campaign financing, let's eliminate them altogether.
