how about economic? surrealnumber5
I think that history has shown the consequences of unchecked business. look at the meat packing industry before regulations (read "the jungle" by Upton Sinclair on this topic). Or look at child labor or the general horrible working conditions up until the government stepped in (Charles Dickens wrote ALOT about this). Regulation in business is necessary for progress. Do you honestly think if we allow corporations to do what they want, they will keep the best interests of the people in mind?
how about drugs? or the use of non-illegal drugs like tabacco and where it can be smoked? surrealnumber5
Its ironic that you bring up drugs when liberals are the ones wanting to legalize them. on another note, "second hand smoke" IS a huge health issue, especially for kids. so it is reasonable to ban it in certain enclosed, public places.
what people eat? surrealnumber5
I dont see anyone trying to ban certain foods. maybe some liberals want to impose health regulations, but I fail to see a huge negative impact of this. Its not like MCdonalds has been illegalized or anything. there is an abundance of unhealthy foods at our disposal. no one's rights are being taken away

"what people teach?"
---------------------------
you mean religion in schools? that goes along with "separation of church and state," one of the pillars of our nation's founding. Keeping religion out of public schools is necessary, however, if you really want your kids to have religion further en-grained into their upbringing, there are private religious schools.
