Came across this article by Shruti Rajagopalan, it illustrates what our government thinks of us and why it makes laws which really question the credibility of the citizens who are subjected to it. Further it demonstrates that "the paternalistic state believes that people are fundamentally stupid and must be protected from behaving rashly, even if such behaviour affects no one else."
And the most important question asked by her is "Do we really need the state to protect us from ourselves or our foolishness? Or are we capable of evaluating the little risks we take to make our lives more pleasurable?"
Commendable work Shruti.. Applaud!!!
