After everything was ready Evelyn carried her daughter down in stairs and put Valeria in her car seat , she then pulled the girls some out and gave her pacifier her daughter's pacifier and gave it to her, she then got her daughter sippy cup full of cool apple juice and sat it in the cup holder that was built into the car seat.
The idea that Governments are inherently wiser than the populace they govern and that social challenges should therefore be solved by prohibitions and sanctions is one that seems to be gaining traction in many countries. The UK, which now faces having its police arrest citizens for subjective insult is an extreme example. Regrettably, Australia follows closely behind.
Playing judicial whack-a-mole to regulate against poor choices is a race with no finishing line. There’s always the next thing that needs fixing. Accordingly, Government controls metastasize like cancer, invading personal lives and civil liberties even where no threat of harm exists.
I personally believe that by progressively marginalising personal responsibility and morality in favour of laws in an effort to create some kind of kindergarten Utopia, people generally cede their own judgements to authoritarianism. The populace “dumbs down” from adult to child: waiting for the all-knowing parent to fix everything.
The irony that they would infantilise an entire population by banning its depiction is not lost on me.
There will always be a need for limits and laws but we MUST treat people as adults (even if they are age-playing) and constrain heavy-handed measures to protecting the innocent.
The scariest thing about all this is the degree to which the population seems to acquiesce to this governmental mission-creep. Do they not realise that although today it might be pictures of adults wearing nappies, tomorrow it might be stand-up comedy on the chopping block? Or are people just becoming dumber and more passive, gob-smacked by reality TV shows whilst waiting for the next Government hand-out to arrive?
