I also think the farther away we get from "morality" (used loosely, doesn't have to mean Christian morality, but it can)the more we, as a society will need the state to intervene and "keep us in line." You basically say this, but I am going to add a religious flair to it. :) You say:<br /><br />"The belief had been, until recently, that people should be persuaded not to do stupid, unhealthy things, rather than forced to conform to medical standards."<br /><br />Since there is no right or wrong, thanks to moral relativity, people have lost the ability to judge for themselves and apparently need a "Nanny." <br /><br />I conclude this in addition to your conclusions which I find fascinating. Thanks for your insight!<br /><br />-SSteph Nelsonhttp://thecivicarena.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
