Big Brother is counting on you.
All human life could be dangerous. People die laying in bed. If our endeavours become so fear inducing then humanity has had it.
Put the fetters on yourself, please spare me and my though.
BTW are you a woman?
I’ve never made the argument here, or elsewhere, FOR traffic cameras so just drop the whole big brother, you must be a silly girl schtick. But don’t worry, you aren’t the first to jump to conclusions about the point I was making with my comments here.
“My wife wants a camera in our bathroom to make sure I put the lid down.”
When I put the lid down, I put the lid down, not just the toilet seat. If I put it down, sombody’s gonna have to lift either the lid to use the toilet.
That’s how it works in our house. It also helps keep the dogs and kids from drinking from the toilet. lol
You almost had me fooled for second, but then you had to go and write the following:
Natural Law is God’s law, not the absence of law, but simple objective law.
Objective law is all about the atheist Ayn Rand. "The Association for Objective Law was formed in 1988 to advance Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, as the basis of a proper legal system."
Link to Objective law
Government made law is not. There’s some 50,000 federal statutes. Can you honestly say you’ve never violated any one of them?
Atheism is the cause of more laws. Christian's are self governed by the laws of God.
Stop tolerating infringements on liberty in the name of safety.
Stop defending irresponsible behavior, it infringes on the rights of those that are law abiding.
Quiz: Who said, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”?
Look up some other quotes by Ben Franklin; you'll see that personal responsiblity plays a role in his thinking as well. "Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society."
I see, instead of holding speeders personally accountable for their irresponsible actions, we need to put speed bumps everywhere? Talk about the "Nanny State". How does putting a bandaid on a cancer work?
I am not advocating no government, just the smallest possible so that the least amount of liberty is infringed.
Name one place where you are least likely to find a police presence. If you answer correctly, you'll be on the way to "recognizing" the truth.
In Nebraska the way to end a Cornhusker victory party is to flush the punch bowl.
If people aren’t aware of the capabilities of the car they are driving then they shouldn’t be on the road.

I live in Florida ,, there are so many old people with non-existant reflexes that no amount of distance is “safe” .. while I agree that people are reponsible for knowing their and their cars capabilities the simple truth is that very few people do. The cameras are for revenue generation. If you don’t think so then why do the cameras disappear when the revenue generation component is removed by law.
They put cameras up at the intersections with the most accidents and/or reports of people running red lights here where I live.
Speaking of old people, I got into an accident with the old lady from hell last month! She saw me coming and pulled right in front of me. She caused the accident but I was at fault. It still p!$$es me off that she did that.
She caused the accident but I was at fault. ??????????????
She pulled right in front of me trying beat me into the turning lane and I hit her. I wish I’d known she was trying I would have gladly let her in front.
