These are the arguments of a gullible boob who yearns for governmental control over every aspect of society.

"Every aspect of society"????

Where on earth do you get that from? Because I think the government's job is to protect citizens from murder, theft and fire? That is "every aspect of society"?

Talk about strawmen!

Go ahead and drive without a seatbelt. When you go flying through your windshield and smash your empty head against the pavement - don't ask the rest of us to subsidize your medical care.

Some folks here remind me of the folks at DU - everything is "all or nothing". Guess what? There is a happy medium. The goverment is not "all evil" or "all Nanny-state".

Because I don't want to foot the bill for idiots - you somehow construe that into: I am a "gullible boob" and think that I "yearn for governmental control over every aspect of society."

Great logic there buddy.

Your STRAWMAN was comparing REAL crimes - against natural law - that actually VIOLATE OTHER'S RIGHTS, to a stupid non-issue that tenuously minimally trickle-down affects many thousands by maybe raising their rate by $1.

And who says you should be forced to pay for others? Guess what - that's a violation of your natural rights, too! So, GET RID OF FORCED INSURANCE.

Then what's your argument?

If I'm wasting my time arguing with you, I must have already smashed my head on the pavement.

Conflating murder, arson and robbery with not wearing a seat belt isn't a strawman argument? Where did you take your logic courses, Sophist U?

Accusing others of "reminding you of DU" is just a classic sign of running out of logic, Skippy.

Your love of government incrementalism marks you as a statist who believes all good emanates from gooberment. Loosen up that sphincter and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your reaming.

When you come out of the ether with a sore rectum and a quarter in your hand, it'll be a government agent with his hands on your shoulders, not your proctologist or the tooth fairy.
