Liberty is about accepting risk. That is what liberty is.
Gubment school educated sheeple learned to sit when the bell rings. Stand when the bell rings. Pee when the bell rings. The textbooks are arranged with cool little end of chapter quizzes. quizzes that nicely, chronologically follow the chapter. Tests are created from the end of chapter quizzes. Everything is highly predictable and controlled.
So these same little urchins grow up to vote. What do they demand? A highly predictable, risk adverse environment. They are willing to create a world full of cops, guns, courts, judges to get what they want.
Big solutions needs big gubment. So an infrastructure is built that can impose it’s will on the daily behavior of a country that spans a continent and has 300,000,000 people. I wonder what this infrastructure of control will be used for by future people with less scruples than you.
LIBERTY is about taking responsibility as well as taking risks. If one just takes risks which could harm others then their Liberty should be restricted. That is why we have speed limits on public highways. That is why we do not allow someone to target practice in public places. That is why we regulate many things because the unfettered application of some freedoms can be harmful and dangerous under certain conditions. That is why laws were written - to protect the innocent from the possible inconsiderate and dangerous action of others.
