In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

More government tampering

Instead of letting the market work, the government has yet another new law that will stifle the economy. As you can read here, renters are now "protected" from getting kicked out of their apartments if the landlord is foreclosed on. Never mind that the bank wants to deal with the property in their own way, which many mean sprucing it up. The bank may also want to sell the land to an investor, who may want to raze the complex and build something else. It seems the government wants to protect us from every little hazard and risk in the world. Maybe I need a bureaucrat to drive me around to make sure I'm safe and I don't get into an accident. Got one, Barack?
