You're right, but Californians embrace the Nanny State, unfortunately. It's sad.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar with unsubstantive comments. That has bad effects, whichever direction your views point in.

Is any sort of government intervention considered "nanny state"? Prop65 is as not-nannystate as you can get, considering it doesn't try to ban the products or even tax them.

Prop 65 was passed in 1986. Most Californians today didn't vote on it.

So you really don't know what current Californians do or do not embrace.
