Being a motorcyclist myself, I KNOW we are often targeted by drivers and I do my best to keep my “space”. I am against helmet and seatbelt laws, but I have to draw a line when my desire to do something (talk on a cell phone) distracts me from my responsibility to you (not kill or injure you with my car).
So if I want to operate a piece of machinery that could plow into you at 120 mph with x gigajoules of energy, perhaps I have a responsibility about my condition when operating that machinery.
I don’t disagree with you about the insane pursuit of safety but I also consider myself a true conservative, a centrist, rightfully concerned about the balance of liberty and responsibility, or statism versus anarchy.
