America seems to be becoming the land where the politicians have nothing better to do than protect citizens from themselves.
I have to wonder what people expect from the government. Making everything safe isn't possible, the best we can strive for is statistically unlikely, and over legislating just gives that much more control over our lives to the politicians. The activists are not all innocent either, they often put their own spin on matters just to incite passions, and donations, from the masses, which are then heralded as gospel by those too easily excited to actually track down and read the proposal. Personally, I'm going to go feed my kids tomatoes my friend gave me to thank me for the jam that I gave her, made from berries I purchased for cash from another friends u-pick, before the red tape gets in the way.
