I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but this "the government can't make you do something you don't want" line of argument seems awfully flimsy.

Did I not say Federal Government? Cause that is who I was talking about.
Municipal governments getting involved in keeping your yard clean, and state governments getting involved in you having a drivers license....these are all different issues. According to each state/province, these laws are different.
But here we're talking about the federal government through some BS ruling forcing people to buy a commercial product.
Rightly or wrongly.
Gozer's side of the argument really does hold a lot of water. In a sense I would tend to agree. But man, this bill really does create a lot of controversy.
