And when the feds try to demand changes anyway, state and local officials bristle at the interference. Like teenagers, we resent paternalism--until we're in trouble.

...they beg their husbands to get the kid dressed, then are hypercritical over the choice of outfit he puts the baby in. They leave long lists of instructions whenever going out, as if Dad's a new babysitter.
