The term "nanny state" is a familar one that applies in many circumstances when the government assumes the protection function for irresponsible individuals, corporations and organizations.
Most Americans want the government to keep the airlines safe, but a man named Ron Paul insists that it's up to the airlines to provide safe flights. What a concept. Mr. Paul is on target, as usual.
The principle is violated throughout our society.
On a tiny scale, who is responsible for providing clean shopping carts in the supermarkets? Well, the companies, of course. But major chains delegate the task to their customers and offer a paper cloth for them to use.
See here, Mr. Groceryman, don't present me with a dirty, germ-infested cart in which to load my food. I deserve a clean cart, I demand one. I'm not going to be a shopping-cart-cleaner-upper volunteer.
Listen to me or I'll send my lawyer grandson after you and you'll have to give me free groceries for the rest of my life.
It's all so simple.
