Micro-managing our daily lives, is something that most people
wont tolerate, and if they have to, they'll always figure out a way around the hurdles placed in front of them.
Most government officials don't think about the repercussions of legislation or taxation or regulations, but for certain, there is a repercussion to anything that affects us. Government keeps hoping that the people will learn to accept what they impose on us, but, eventually, the negatives overtake whatever positives those officials might have seen with their power-grab.
