I have no cousins. My only aunt died young of tuberculosis in the days before antibiotics. In those days most people got tuberculosis from drinking unpasteurized milk from an infected cow.

One of the things which helped fight tuberculosis was government regulation – mandatory testing of cows for tuberculosis so people wouldn’t die from drinking infected milk. If they had had that “big government interference” back then I might have had cousins.

Then we got antibiotics. But now the tuberculosis germs have developed drug resistance, so some people die of incurable tuberculosis.

So, do you want the freedom to see your kids die of tuberculosis, or would you rather have the big bad old government infringing on the rights of people to innocently kill their own children?
