>Doesn't matter what you believe. When government decides that video games are contributing to violence, government will justify any intrusions upon your freedom no matter how big or how small they may be. A little regulation in important places goes a long way. If we regulated nothing, we'd be screwed. We are obsessing about this because the bottling industry is putting tens of millions of dollars into it. That's it. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't even notice >Everyone acknowledges that soda isn't good for you, but acknowledging it and banning it just because it isn't good for you are two separate things. NO ONE IS BANNING SODA, TENCH! NO ONE! NO ONE IS ADVOCATING IT! NO ONE! >There are a lot of things that aren't good for you. Should they all be regulated? Some should, sure. We regulate alcohol, tobacco, lots of different kinds of drugs. While I disagree with some of the way it's done, by and large, it's for better, not for worse. >There is no limit. Not even what you believe matters, because you already gave up your right to decide for yourself when you let government micromanage your life. Of course there's a limit. If we're not happy about how much the government regulates, we can vote in new elected officials. But it's so strange that the things "small government conservatives" go nuts about are the same things that corporations spend millions upon millions to prevent. Total coincidence. I'm not even sure why I'm arguing about this with you. I really don't care about it either way. Regulate soda? OK, there's probably some social benefit. Don't? Fine. It's not the hill I'm going to die on. -Z
