Oh.. well, like your friend's wife, I'm also in/from England :)
Any new regulations I've heard of over here have never really struck me as
infringing my freedom.. just improving the way things are done - normally in
business.  The one exception I can think of is when the govt. banned beef on
the bone.. though this was only temporary, and I suppose they had a health
excuse (though not one I particularly agreed with though ;).  Anyway.. I
don't really know how our laws/regulations compare with yours, but I
certainly haven't seen anything to be depressed about myself :)


There. Sorry about that ;)

Just my 2 pence worth..
