Where are the Conservatives whining for liberty and freedom from oppressive government control when the government legislates against tainted food products. Shouldn't we be able to buy them if we want to? In a free market economy, we will simply choose not to buy food that makes us sick or kills us. We deserve to have the choice.
Similarly, why do we need the government dealing with issues like the loudness of advertisements relative to the program we are watching. If the suppliers of the content want to do it that way, we can use the "OFF" button to control the markets. If we refuse to watch any TV station that plays ads louder than the programming, they will stop doing it.
If we think the free market will give us what we want/need regarding health care, should it not provide what we need regarding food and TV? Why is there such outrage in the first case, and silence in the other two??
