Is it just "boomercon" politics that does that? I see similar issues with politics in general. Like the rural/urban cultural split, but rural areas are expected to obey laws put forward by urbanites. Also more obviously, legislation pushed forward by lunatics that's intended to manipulate sane humans. There's always a message that it's for everyone's own good, but it rarely is.
