I don't think this is a good analogy.

No, it isn't overall. The only common ground is wishing for something that if it were implemented, they aren't going to consult you on how you'd like it tailor made for you.

Every person, it seemed, who advocated a USDA definition of Organic, thought that it would exactly describe their little farm. It took no rocket scientist even back then to guess that it was going to more closely resemble ADM than barefoot hippies.

Like that so many who is 180 lbs overweight, on 18 prescription drugs for imagined illnesses, and has scarcely done any productive work their entire adult lives imagine that if we just had Socialism, they'd be able to sit on their posteriors and get all the more wonderful drugs all their lives -- and more money to spend on electronic gadgets and CD's. They might be very surprised if we suddenly went to a supportable socialist system and they were told "There's nothing wrong with you, lose the weight and report for work."

It's only in that way that it is a comparison ... careful what you wish for.
