The mania for giving the government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble … there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action … and sink into the helplessness of [one] who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die … to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb. -- from "Official Physic" http://www.twainquotes.com/mercury/OfficialPhysic.html
