Dang, you got me: I rose to the bait.
You still come across as somewhat more statist than I am comfortable with.
Heh heh... it happens.
I think you misinterpreted. I’m all for you doing whatever you want and owning whatever you want short of nuclear weapons I suppose - as long as you are all for taking total responsibility if whatever you do or whatever you own - hurts someone else then they or their survivors have the right of eye for an eye.
Problem is, most people want to do whatever it is they want to do, to hell with anyone else, and certainly NOT take any personal responsibility if something they do, own, or operate causes the death or maiming of others.
And that’s the root of the problem. Cause its all fun and games until you or someone you care about is on the receiving end of an injustice with little to no recourse.
Again, as an example; Some jail bird in and out of jail, on welfare, on drugs, no money, owns Pit Bulls, dog gets loose, rips some kids face and genitals off ruining the kids life and the family goes broke with medical bills tearing the family apart....
Jail bird owner get a slap on the wrist and has no money or insurance and doesn’t care anyway.
Where is the justice? What if it was your kid innocently riding a bike in your own driveway or taking the trash out and you didn’t get there in time? What are you going to do about it under the current laws? Go blow jail bird away and take his place in prison for the rest of your life?
Anyway, that sad story has happened before to people.
“An Eye for and eye society, is a polite society...”
Seems to be a reasonable enough proposition to me as long as its applied equally to all.
Just think, a society where people actually take personal responsibility for things and also have total freedom that comes with it. Novel concept.
Quite the conservative concept.
