Many great ideas , aye and most any thing put forth by .gov , take away from personal freedom. Trying to impose their idea of a utopian society that if enacted would be so screwed that it would be no better than what is here now.

The original idea of government was to protect the people and maintain a secure life style. But now it seems that politicians only want to control their people and to use government to promote big business so they can really profit from it when they leave public office.

As for a Utopian society, I can't think of anything more boring.
