"Seattle: Second Worst Nanny State?
07/24/2008 at 1:00 p.m.
The libertarian magazine Reason is out with a list of the worst nanny states. Seattle is number two, right behind Chicago. Apparently Chicago's attempted Foie Gras ban pushed them to the top. Do you think Seattle does too much to limit personal behavior? Is the city a nagging nanny? Or do you find the nanny state charge wrong–headed. Do you agree with policies aimed at improving health and safety? Maybe you feel like you need a strong nanny sometimes?
The Reason Magazine survey of nanny cities ranked them by gambling; number of prostitutes per capita; smoking restrictions; alcohol restrictions; gun and drug laws. Las Vegas is at the opposite end of permissiveness from Seattle. Should Seattle have a little more Vegas? Or should what happens in Vegas, stay in Vegas?
