The point is that there will soon be nothing the bureaucrats will not control. Here in the US they have banned incandescent light bulbs, decent flush toilets, smoking in bars, spanking your own kids and a million other things. In Europe bureaucrats have injected themselves into everything, without even the bothering to have elections to get a mandate. Nothing is too small or too personal to escape their grasping attention. By the time most people realize they have lost all their choices to the whims of busy body bureaucrats and nanny state politicians we really will be living in a totalitarian regime.
CS Lewis said best: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Everyone has the right to be foolish. As soon as we take that away we will all have to behave according to someone else's definition of sensible. Who would YOU trust to make those decisions. In Europe that self appointed army is headquartered in Brussels. Here in the US they are mainly in Washington and, as CS Lewis said, they never stop.
