It's Orwellian for the government to want to protect it's citizens rights? You aren't making a whole lot of sense here. I thought that was one of the primary functions of government along with defense and roads and such.

While Apple's motives are pretty clear (target your for advertising and things like that) the government's motives seem altruistic, like they are doing their job. When it comes to the Nazi and Orwell stuff you're going out on a limb I think.

The Federal Government has nothing to do with those issues. All of it is regulated by local governments, usually cities or counties. Some states are considering bans on the sales of trans-fat, and of course, California already has.

Right, my education is in question...

BATF is there to make sure nobody is illegally trafficking firearms, tobacco, and alcohol - especially across state lines. They regulate and distribute FFL's for retailers, and make sure interstate sales are done according to state/federal law. They do not impose smoking laws, alcohol laws, nor do they have anything to do with the taxation of those items.

So, what is your point now? Is it that, in the English language, you cannot start a sentence with the word "and"? Perhaps that you cannot start a sentence in lower case? I'm starting to agree with you that today's education standards seem to have fallen.

Agree, people should not forget that it's their responsibility to elect a government who looks out for them. If they elect the wrong people or don't even bother to vote, then it's their own damn fault.
