Let's start with the fact that this is a bona fide health issue, and wishing someone a seasonal greeting, as far as I'm aware, is not a health issue. Sure it is. Spiritual health, which is as important to some people as physical health is to you. I'm not cavalier about liberty, but I can balance it with the special duties I think our health care providers owe us E, most of us have something we think is "special." Remember the people who want to "balance" our liberty against security? You happily "trivialized" their concerns. Different people want to compromise liberty for whatever they think is sufficiently "special" to warrant it. Some of them you would agree with and some of them you would adamantly oppose, as you did just recently with the data mining. Your "special" is no more deserving to you than theirs is to them. I am very wary of anyone who thinks his issue is so special that it warrants compromising liberty. Not much trumps liberty IMO, and most surely not the distribution of free formula to new moms. If you want to stop it, go picket the hospital or lobby the hospital to include a brochure on the benefits of breast feeding in their handouts, don't make distributing formula illegal. That IMO trivializes the legal system.
