Throughout the country, lawmakers are passing the laws for regulating the grease your doughnuts are fried in, the calls you make from the road and what you listen to while crossing the street even the bat your kid uses to hit the baseball. Normally the ideas are offered with the best intentions for minimizing a newly recognized danger or to encourage healthy behavior. Detractors counter that regulating French fries as well as Blackberries mainly infringes on personal liberties. Some critics also call it as "Nanny Government," and they point to a playpen full of behavior-related bills before city councils and state legislatures.
