On a postcard perfect summer morning, sitting at a picnic table beneath a large scrub pine Nathan "Nate" Nickerson, the hearty and high-toned proprietor of Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar, gets animated and even agitated at the thought of ever more "government intrusion" affecting his business and livelihood.
