I think a better example, is one of the related examples at the bottom of that page:
Senate gets into act on saggy-pants ban. Think about that for a moment. Honestly, I hate droopy drawers too. But a State Senate must rule on this?

So the answer to your question Helioprime, authority isn't "always" a bad thing. But do would you consider droopy pants a state issue? Those people lined up in grandpas article were there to begin with, because government has put them there. They've got billions to research flying to fucking Mars, but they don't have 500 housing applications? Now it all starts to make sense. The issue isn't really baggy pants, but control and obedience.
