My thoughts, two sides of the coin in 1859 Charles Darwin published "Origin of Species", one of the ideas expressed in this book was the concept of survival of the fittest. These laws being passed to protect ourselves from ourselves are contrary to what Darwin tried to establish as natural law. The government's "responsibility" or right to interfere comes from the idea that the government has an obligation to step in and pay for or provide care for those who can't do for themselves, so if by passing laws they can some how prevent people from becoming incapacitated they are saving money and reducing the burden these individuals would pose to society.
With the safety net government provides in intervention, in prevention and in actual care or aide I often wonder if we haven't created a situation that encourages bad or stupid behavior and if over the long run what the government calls compassion will have a Darwinian effect on our society and eventually decrease our overall prosperity.
To look at it another way when government intervenes to correct injustice or an unfairness the result never lifts or raises the entire society, it merely lowers the overall wealth, wellness or ability of the society as a whole two a lower but attainable level. In previous years much of the aid for the disadvantaged of society came from compassion and altruism meaning when care or aid was provided to the disadvantaged it was done voluntary by individuals. This didn't have the same effect on society as our current system because those providing the help were able to make a moral judgement and someone who needed care through no fault of their own may have been given more than someone who needed care by gross stupidity or a lack of ambition.
This is where I come close to getting censored. There is one political ideology currently in the United States of America that denies the concept of religion, intelligent design, right and wrong but instead tries to define everything by science and knowledge creating a faith or a beleif known as secular humanism. But in their blind race to implement their new faith or belief they ignore the basic precepts laws and concepts that scientists and other scholars have developed over the years such as survival of the fittest, economic laws of supply and demand, evolution(or the theory that beings will adapt to and have adapted to changes in the environment they exist in). They somehow have this belief that the earth has evolved and changed over the course of it's existence that mountains were formed and eroded, that seas came and went, that continents were formed and moved, that creatures like dinosaurs came and went, or were replaced by creatures (possibly descended from them) that better fit the changing ecosystem and that we can stop this. This group feels that must act to implement a static point in the earth's development and stop further evolution or changes and we must do everything in our power to stop further changes in the earth even if it means returning to lifestyles we abandoned centuries ago.
