Re: Oregon is a nanny state
As a resident of Oregon, I feel duty-bound to point out that not being able to pump your own gas isn't something that is imposed on the citizenry, it's something that the citizenry wants. Despite the very strong lobbying from gas station owners and gas companies who get the issue put up for a vote every few years, Oregon residents consistently vote to keep the prohibition in place.
You might personally find it offensive, but it's what the people want.
