It's a balance that's difficult to find, I agree. The thin line is between government being a servant of its people, and government being a controller of its people. The 50,000 miles of bike paths paid for with taxpayer money should indeed be maintained and regulated, but I start to get uncomfortable when that regulation looks like it may go beyond protection and into control. Freedom is priceless.
