 In every case where the govt stays out of the economy the
 people, as a mass, tend to be very poor, with a few very rich.

 Which requires more govt intervention to get big business out.

 BL>  increasing restrictions.

 And those that don't wind up with business ruining the country.

 BL>  A classic example of the Nanny State is here in New South
 BL>  Wales where they are talking about imposing a curfew on
 BL>  young drivers becasue they keep killing themselves at
 BL>  night. The kids themselves desire nothing more than a
 BL>  driving licence, they are obviously happy to take the tiny
 BL>  risk of being killed by their inexperience on the road at
 BL>  night... but the Nanny State knows best. Like hell they do.

 So, now you are saying the *CHILDREN* know best?
