Drawing this conclusion and asking the question: What won't the government try to do? used to be seen as pointless questions.<br /><br />Over the last few years, through legislative actions such as this, the size of soft drinks, salt on restaurant tables, etc. it is leaving little doubt that the government is feeling more and more free to live the lives of its citizens for them.<br /><br />As people get more used to the government encroaching on their lives and liberties, the increased control becomes unnoticed, until we wake up and ask: what the hell happened?<br /><br />I just can't believe a people who had grown up with incredible liberties a generation ago (who didn't have an intrusive government)would so readily give them away.
