I think that's what the issue is. The stupid people only seem to be getting stupider and higher in numbers. This means that whoever is elected needs to pander to their stupid demands or create statutes which try and combat their stupid behaviour, and thereby bring about a "nanny state" (oh you like how I brought this back on topic dontcha?)
Regardless of whether someone needs to be cuddled and shielded from the elements, or whether they need to be reprimanded for being a blatant idiot, it shouldn't inconvenience the average person. I've straddled the fucking hump of the bell curve and I don't want my laws changed to benefit those on the fringes. They can fuck off and cease to exist for all I care, which I'm sure Darwinian theory will see to.
