I don't know how you can read the above and not think that it applies to individuals.
He did not say that he did. He did say that she did.

And the text does say 'regulated' implying some level of regulation, and it does say 'state' not 'nation'.

I know what I want it to mean, and I think I know what it was intended to mean (and they are pretty close), but the wording is just not as clear as it really could have been.
