FOR YOUR OWN
GOOD
Why does the government at every level want to "take care
of me"? I am not a child!
In a personally responsible world, everyone must make an
effort to be vigilant of being treated like a child. If is for
"your best interests" then we must question WHY. We
must be responsible for own best interests.
Example: Buddha Bubba is stuck on the issue of
metal detectors and personal
searches at airports, not just the new ones, but going back to
the days when planes were being hijacked to Cuba. I believe
that is better to be taken to a Totalitarian country, and I
have been to Cuba in 2003, than to freely give away my
constitution rights, one at a time in the name of
"security".
Example: seat belt laws
have been created solely at the behest of the Insurance
underwriters, bookworms who have no life but to examine
"pure" numbers, with no peek behind the reasons for
the numbers. Seat belt laws are "for own on good".
If I choose not to wear one and I die, that is no ones
business but mine, not the Nazi, who can now stop me "for
my own good" and ticket me for not wearing a seat belt.
Example: I rode a motorcycle for more than 20
years. Helmets laws are
created to protect people who are rebels by nature, except the
Rolex bikers who don't have a clue. A "real" biker
just simply isn't going to wear a helmet, but "for their
own protection" they, by law, must wear helmets.
