We all want to stay young longer then our bodies allow us for some more then others and some with their minds as well. The “Nanny State” allows us to perpetually live in such a state where the government is our parent long after our diapers have been removed. We can have all the fun we want as long as they agree it’s safe for our little minds and bodies. Therefore at the end if something goes wrong we can cry to the state for some comfort and maybe even a lollipop (sugarfree of cost) well make that a bunch of carrots. The “Nanny State” is perfect for those who live in Peter Pan’s world who want to fly but have to wear a helmet, bring those carrot sticks and watch their language; maybe it’s better for you to stay inside.
