I never said a thing about nanny statism; I like a certain amount of governmental interference. Makes me feel like my tax dollars are doing some good, protecting me from pollution and all.

I also believe that children should have greater protection under the law than adults. Once you're a legal adult, you can treat your body and brain with casual disregard. You are not, however, permitted to do so to a minor.
