I found this article to "strike the note" well on many of the most crucial ethical issues of our time.
Indeed, we live in a time of cringing, lying expert technicians, pseudo-educators, and cowards. There must be a point where a man will draw a point in the sand and say "Nor further!" To take a stand, no matter what the consequence knowing full well the honour that lies in following one's own deepest truth. To vow not to be like others cowering, surrendering all dignity to the nanny state.

Your use of the term "nanny state" belies the true character of a State that is not concerned with, nor functions on behalf of, the well being of its charge, i.e., "children" but rather one in which is better characterized as a corporate-state where private oligarchic/plutocratic elites control policy and policy makers in order to extract as much wealth(labor,resources) from its population as possible; more like sheering as much wool as possible from sheep without damaging the sheep's ability to continue to grow wool and when that phase has run its course, to at least have mutton before moving on to different pastures, e.g., "under-developed" countries.
Thanks Jucapa!
Point well taken... I guess a "nanny" ostensibly refers to someone who at least cares in a mercenary way for the care of children. It is fairly obvious that there is no concern for the well being of any one. The local polluticians (^%*) are more brazen in their contempt for the land and the people of Blair County. Perhaps a new soil Party is needed to remind americans that the greatness of this nation is its water/land/soil. If there is any love of country it should first of all be love for the land!
Read Wiki on the "New Soil Party" but it was very inadequate...tried finding some of the original articles that WW wrote for the Brooklyn Freeman, but no success...
