Well, there's some truth to this. I think a lot of it stems from a belief that the ban-proposer is correct and that the masses just don't know what's good for them.
It's ironic (in the actual sense) that we have come out of one era considered completely repressive, authoritarian, and constricting (all of history until 1969) only to turn right around and do the same exact thing with a different premise. A premise that will be considered laughable in 50 years since they all are.
There are many things in contemporary American society that I don't like, think are foolish or destructive, see as frivolous or financially stupid, etc. I haven't thought about banning most of them. At most, I've advocated for a more pragmatic approach to some aid schemes (dumping knee-jerk corporate and agriculture subsidies, reining in school administrator finance, reestablishing academic standards for tax-supported higher education, etc.).
Really, if you want to drink sodas, salt your food in restaurants, pay people for sex, smoke weed, own guns, or educate your own children, go for it.

That's part of it but not all of it. Unintended consequences are what I fear - I'm living already with so many of them.Originally posted by Frostbit View Post"Alexa, slaughter the fatted calf."Comment

Imagine that you took your car to an auto shop.
Imagine that they not only didn't fix your car, they broke something else.
Imagine them billing you for the attempted original repair, as well as the attempted secondary repair.The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—
All's right with the world!Comment

Unless it's the government, then vote for someone who says he's going to change things and when he doesn't - vote for him again."Faith is nothing but a firm assent of the mind : which, if it be regulated, as is our duty, cannot be afforded to anything but upon good reason, and so cannot be opposite to it."

What's in the video? I'm too stressed out to watch a clip from a show I never heard of to find an oblique reference supporting a point I'm not sure even exists.
