Lars couldn't get through to you so I likely can't either. Your basic stance that the government needs to be protective and responsible for ignorant people so they make better choices---so they don't have to educate themselves--is the very basis of socialism. As soon as the government starts performing 'Daddy' roles (such as our welfare system, needle exchanges, free abortion, etc.) the population no longer has to act responsibly and soon learns that bad behavior is rewarded---as long as you support the government that is now supporting you.
