"What arrogant idiot decided it was OK to have the government start intervening in people's affairs?"
Proto-religion.
To create and maintain a heterogenous society, rules had to be made, adhered to and enforced.
Much of the social areas that government meddles in, such as marriage, are the same social constructs the church used to manage.
Now back to the saying power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely... you get the picture.
This is where 'green power' and 'biodiesel quotas' come in. They are moral objectives, not economic.
