[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4169744, member: 1132"] nanny state: [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*]a government perceived as authoritarian, interfering, or overprotective. [*]A government perceived as having excessive interest in or control over the welfare of its citizens, especially in the enforcement of extensive public health and [U]safety regulations[/U]. [/LIST] For reference, see pretty much any Democrat controlled major urban area and states like New York, California, Washington, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, etc. You see our glass as half empty because we're "at the bottom" in some metrics, which are defined by liberals. I see our glass as 3/4 full, because we score very high on the freedom index. We have a vibrant energy industry and our technology training and skilled trades are pretty good. Yes we need better education but that's a political battle more than anything. Health is more of a lifestyle choice than lack of medical services. Most of us value freedom and independence more than government intervention "for our own good". You may not feel that way, but that makes you the odd duck in Oklahoma. If you want more government control, then maybe Oklahoma isn't a good fit for you. That's all I'm saying. [/QUOTE]
