People need to start pulling back on the "rules"

This Nanny state bullcrap has gone too far. THAT is my point.

If you don't like what the woman did, that is YOUR problem.

This country used to be about Freedom. Now it's about what can we do next to interfere with other's lives.

If it was good enough for our fathers and grandfathers. Why isn't it good enough now?

One drop at a time. That is how you lose your freedom. It doesn't come all at once and 90% of the people in this country are too GD stupid to realize that.

There are plenty of people on this forum who see nothing wrong with the state sticking its nose in every aspect of your existence. The see nothing wrong with "reasonable restrictions" on gun ownership. They see nothing wrong with seat belt laws, helmet laws, etc.

It had never been about that. We are not a libertarian anarchy. We had relative freedom. But when the country was founded, we still had slavery. Slavery is not freedom. We had a lot more rules in 1776 than we do today. Cursing in public could put you in jail back then. Until 1964, black people couldn't even ride in the front of a bus in most states in the South. Want to buy gas on Sunday morning? Fat chance in most Southern states. I couldn't even choose my own school in 1972.

Freedom doesn't mean that collectively we give leave of common sense. Another poster was right. A mere fender bender would have deployed the driver airbad inches from the baby's head, and killed it. A sudden stop would have propelled the baby forward into the steering wheel and killed it.

Freedom comes with personal responsibility, and NO personal responsibility is greater than that to your child. You, sir, have taken leave of your senses!

Great post...this one goes in my archives. Odd how people go ballistic in these 'safety' scenarios, but barely notice as their children's minds are being ravaged on a daily basis in public schools.
