I tend to agree with 9er here.
The whole "dangers of the nanny state" argument kind of silly to me. The American government has been successfully running a nanny state for corporate America for well over a century now—protecting it from outside influences and from itself—I don't see why individuals should be left out of the loop.
I think from their perspective, they're primarily concerned about fewer people dying.
Those damned tyrants!
