Nanny staters fear that people need protected from themselves, though.

One other way to fight Government oppression is through Jury Nullification.
the only way to slow government growth is to get someone in office like warren g harding, and let him get to work cutting the size of government.

Went right over your head, didn't it?

I don't object to someone doing what they like with their own body.

I object to them doing something with someone else's body.
Forced normalized homosexuality on the masses... So you, as an individual, can see the ruse and not accept the normalization, but you are gonna play nanny and oppose the normalization for the "masses".

I must have a different nanny because I've gone for at least 30 years without breaking a single rule, regulation or law, with the exception speeding, or anything else the government has seen fit to be concerned about.

Data is no different and if we're going to enforce net neutrality allowing the ISP's to have tiered pricing on data plans is absolutely essential. If you want to use high bandwidth services like netflix, P2P etc. then you should pay for it.
All analogies fail because what I am suggesting is not based on logic it's based on selfishness.
