Conformity I think follows the innate drive to coerce the nonconformant into compliance

Insurance, alcohol, and other lobbies pay for our laws in the US.

All but one I have had did not, and his suggestion to eat something other than cheeseburgers every day was less than revolutionary.

When I brought it up with other physicians the answer was always that I probably get all the nutrients I need from regular food. Whatever that may be.

Dietary changes have helped me feel better and healthier and perform better, and a few vitamin and other supplements as well.

I’m not selling a lifestyle. I’m criticizing the foolishness of a food and drug industry based in the idea that preventing death or lifelong disability is sufficient.

Not to counter your point, but you must have never seen moose moving at speed through a forest. They are astonishingly graceful and surprisingly quiet.

When medicine ignores nutrition entirely, and nutrient supplements are still complete unknowns, you have to wonder who the FDA is working for.

Contiguous states is the correct term.

“Continental” would be in Europe.

Right, and the same with private citizens. Don’t fine a month’s income to some and a minute’s to someone else because it’s “fair” and evenly applied.

Agreed, the ultimate state-monopoly on use of force, right to private property, legislated penalties and remedies, the time and expense of pursuing fairness, in the absence of full moral consideration, or common sense for lack of a better term, is a giveaway to entrenched authority, attorneys or deep-pockets, and not a sensible approach to dynamic real world right and wrong.

I like this take. Fluid and dynamic are keys here. There are almost always fluctuating differences in power, status, preparedness, or individual goals that ought to be considered, rather than an abstract ideal equality or fixed structural relationship. The fight, flight, or freeze and other instinctive responses may defy logic but need to be tolerated and respected, and the give and take over time balanced out fairly.

“You must do as I say, or else.”

You make a distinction without a difference. In either case, without providing for compromise or alternative mutual understanding, it is likely confounding and demanding.

Or assign responsibility to…parents and legal guardians…who are not children.

Seems insufficient to keep Social Security solvent after 2040.

Are the kids alright?

As long as bars still have parking lots and there are sin taxes, it’s another state-sponsored racket.

You might want to look into the industry funding of environmental organizations and the decline of union membership before you decide with your whole heart.

Are you sure it was to get paid, not to avoid prosecution? It could be both among other reasons.

No, not “if I like”, everything touches money, and “it ain’t easy”.

Your breakdown was so simple, it was simply wrong.

You have the right to remain silent, but you must assert it verbally.
