And suppose that a train safety device could have made those deaths less likely, but government policy put the railroad in the hands of those who saw no incentive to install the device, whereas in the absence of that policy the railroad would be in the hands of those who did see an incentive to install it. Would you say the deaths had no bearing on the advisibility of that policy?

Drugs are destroying out society while the railroad is doing everything it can to enhance it.

Hey, it was YOUR analogy, but if you'd rather withdraw it than answer my question that's OK.

Government and more bureaucrats will not help in anyway. More draconian laws and more govt agents will only drive the costs of everything else up including taxes.

Exactly; that's why existing laws need to be cut back.

I'll answer your question with another.
We are kinda getting off topic here here goes!

At WHAT COST and WHO PAYS?

You want more safety devices, you want more government rules, more controls.

Take it from me, the railroads, and the truckers. do a great job on safety

Soon it would take a train to haul the new regulations. Then everything you use or have ever used in this world would be a lot more expensive.

Wouldnt it be better to teach the children the dangers of trains and in this example, drugs, rather than rely upon government.

The government cannot protect you regardless of the number of laws they enact.

Hell, the government cannot protect itself......
