Bottom line. Then only person responsible for you is you. But no. Government needs to pass laws cause people are too stupid. Then government assumes responsibility. Which of course means people can go on being as stupid as they want.
Got bad news for ya. Wearing a seat belt does not guarantee you won't be severely injured and how much insurance you have is between you and your insurance company.
People dont need to be told **** by me you or government.
This is why. This is why the country is going to ****. 10's of trillions in debt. Because everyone looks to big government to do what they should be doing for themselves. So dont tell me you have no sympathy, then demand government do something about it.
So it's OK with you if they can put PCB-laden oil on the roads, put asbestos in our insulation, put lead in our paint, dump chemicals in our water supply, kill forests with acid rain, let big head carp into the great lakes, drive drunk, and other stuff we "don't need to be told ****" about by anybody? How about zoning that keeps adult video stores and liquor stores from moving next door to your kid's school and a 24-hour convenience store from building next to your house? Yeah, the nanny state can sometimes go too far like HT413 said, but come on, man! A lot of "Big Gummint" isn't about stopping ME from doing things, it is stopping others (stupid, evil, or both) from doing nasty things to ME and my family.
