You might want to spend some time looking at the posts around here and see what real paranoia looks like.

Interestingly, seat belt laws, a safety law that affects only the person involved*, seem to have originated in Australia. The thing about such laws (as opposed to reasonable laws that affect uninvolved third parties) is that there is really no limit to the concept once you declare that a person can legitimately be forced to do something "for their own good" that affects only that person.

Already coming down the pike are nutrition laws, punitive taxes on fast food, more draconian anti-smoking laws, and other Nanny State specialties.

*Laws involving child restraints on minors I put into a different category.
