Heaven protect us from those who seek to protect us from ourselves.

Bingo! Lev: 25:10. .Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan. Even God did not force his hand on us, giving us freedom to choose our own downfall.

J. B. Phillips said it well: We are Christians not because we have to be, but because we want to be.

Heaven protect us from those who seek to protect us from ourselves.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
- C.S. Lewis

What's next for stupid human tricks? The rat poison challenge?

The alligator challenge (how long can you keep your hand in his mouth)?

The beer bottle challenge (hit yourself with a bottle until it breaks)?

The neurotoxic puffer fish challenge (it's perfect if your lips and tongue go numb without killing you)? Oh, wait, that's Japan.

I had 5 kids before they even had child proof caps on pill bottles.

We used our brains and stored them properly-—no seat belts either.

Those kids grew up without any disasters.

I DESPISE the nanny state.
