My first thought: Why don’t people just crawl in a hole and not move or interact with each other. Think of the infections. Think of RISK. Think of the RISKS when you just celebrate another’s life.
Everytime people go anywhere, do something, there is a risk to life. Then again, they can just die in home, in bed. Hmmmmm. I remember a person who was in a car stopped at a red light, and a limb of a tree fell down and killed him. What were the odds of that???
Deaths happens. Then again, life happens. Is there a God or not? The responsibility for life should be up to the individual in a free society. The more government interferes with rules and regulations and threats, the more people expect safety, so they let down caution......I think the autobahn is an example of that principle.
People are more responsible for their lives when they don’t assume government and rules are there to protect them. Take the people who don’t own guns because of the police force. Think of the people who aren’t cautious at intersections because of a green light and get killed because of someone running a red. It seems that happens quite a lot actually—to my father-in-law anyway.
Life is a risk. Some people have a lot of “luck”, some people have none. That is life.
The one thing I have observed—is more nanny state rules and regulations, the less free and the more at risk everyone it. Think of how everyone assumed dog food was safe because we have the FDA and lost their pets. Are you really so sure of the safety of our food supply because of the FDA? I’m not. Wouldn’t trust them at all when they allowed melamine in baby formula. What else do people not know.
We really have to get back to the original intent of the Constitution. People should all be responsible for themselves and government should be doing what it was designed for—protect property rights (laugh) and protect borders (laughing even harder). And our populous has got to grow up and be responsible for themselves and not expect government to hold their hand as they cross a street so they don’t get hit by a car.
I am not sure but it appears that you want to get rid of all road safety rules and traffic control devices?
