But what's disturbing me is that nobody seems at all worried about government telling people what they can and can't do with their own bodies. This is a forum that regularly incites revolution to support the right to own bits of metal and wood or plastic that go boom when a trigger is pulled, yet nobody seems at all disturbed over the notion that government will take control of our lives in the most fundamental of ways.

This disturbs me more than I can say.
