However, what I dislike even more is a Hilary-esque government entity (local, parish, state, federal) telling me, "I'm the government. I know better than you what is best for you. Leave it to us to make your choices."

There are major points you are completely ingoring. Our government is setup where elected officials make choices based on their constituents wishes. If an elected official feels the majority of his or her constituents want a certain law passed, it's their job to get that law passed.
