I agree with you about the meddlesome "nanny state".
People in the United States should not have to whine about the "nanny state".
The nanny state should not be involved in:
- water services
- sewage services
- electrical services
- street building and upkeep
- libraries
- street lighting
- mail delivery
- police
- public education
- universities
- science and research of any kind
- any intrusion into commerce, at any level
- space research
- energy research
- military
- construction
- zoning
- military research
- foreign relations
- the justice system
- any issues at all relating to energy
- any issues at all relating to food
- any issues at all relating to public health
- any issues at all relating to public safety
- any issues at all relating to communication
There is in fact a place where no one whines about "nanny state" because all of the above issues are completely ignored by the government, and life goes on as you would hope.
It is in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Below is a photograph of this paradise state you seek.
It is without a doubt, the most dangerous place to live in the world.
But no one there whines about the "nanny state".
You should go there and check it out. Find out for yourself what complete freedom for the individual is all about.
I did go there. I saw it.
While I did not take this exact photo, it is a true and accurate photographic depiction of what I saw with my own eyes.
