>> Seat belts are good, non toxic building materials are good.

Yes, but one cannot infer that all, or even most, regulation pertaining to these things are good. One might say, "We think all cars should have seat belts." But it is a different thing to say, "A person can be fined $200 for not wearing his/her seat belt." Because a person may not want to wear a seat belt. And it simply isn't the business of anyone else, no matter how helpful you may think you're being.

My local representative (state of Arkansas) seriously proposed requiring umpires at Boys Club baseball games to have an annual eye exam. Everyone wants umpires to be able to see and wants games to be fair, but there are some regulations that benefit people yet we just shouldn't have them.
