Micromanagement

Yesterday, I heard on the news: it is illegal to use a tanning booth for those under the age of 18 in Victoria, BC. I would have to explore this further but the fact that government would take the time to legislate an issue so insignificant in the bigger scheme of things is beyond my comprehension. How is it that the state has decided to micromanage individuals when we fail society on other levels. I am certain that a homeless child is not concerned whether they should be using a tanning bed when all they really want is a bed! It is matter such as these that lead me to have little, if any, faith in those that we have elected.
