The State Loves To Trample On Your Rights To Your Own Property

To what extent does the government really have a right to tell you how to live? When did it become government's business to do more than warn you about possible hazards. Now we have government trying to control not just building codes (which are supposed to ensure that buildings are safe I suppose, but not meeting code doesn't mean a building is unsafe, only that it is different). A 20 ounce soda isn't dangerous and it ought not be be any of the government's business telling you what kind of fat to eat or soda to drink. I'm fine with recommendations but not fine with requirements.
