This is a spin off of the anti spanking thread.

The whole thing really gets me pretty furious to think about so I'll keep it brief.

Are we as a society too stupid to take care of ourselves? The government seems to think so..it's illegal to not wear your seatbelt (as if that affects anyone other than the individual) they recall anything with a possible choking hazard..etc. This morning I looked at the warning label on Nolan's jumperoo and it said something along the lines of tying my child to the toy was "dangerous"...honestly? Why do I need you to tell me that? And Bumbo seats being recalled? Etc..I'll elaborate on my feelings if anyone wants but I figure this is enough to get this thread started.

So..the government passing "personal protection" laws good or bad?
