government control is not always bad .
But it has no boundaries: knives can be dangerous for "stupid population", medications can be dangerous, wearing incorrect clothing... and as a result we'll get an anti utopian world. Government consists of the same people who can make mistakes which can be dangerous and even much more dangerous than a mistake of someone outside, but we don't ban governments because they have a positive meaning also.
Don't absolutize governments, their decisions and fears can be as wrong as of someone else of "stupid population".
