Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder.

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born!

Doing on-line food shop. When I type Magnum I get offered ice cream or 1.5L of Verve Clicquot. This has radically complicated my dessert choice.

Either way, the cars are now outfitted with seat belts, airbags, collision detection, signalling devices, and a crumple frame to minimize deaths. It's the same logic as eliminating automatic weapons.

Automatic weapons are heavily regulated but I get your meaning. I was just being silly.

i was thinking one thing about USA. people there are ok with laws that say "wear a seatbelt" which is an actual restrictive law since the seatbelt protects only you (it does nothing for the safety of others)  and it should be  your choice if you want to protect your life or not, but are not ok with gun laws that are meant to protect others from you mishandling a weapon.

but the whole system there is backwards. lets take obesity for example. in USA it is caused by the extreme consumption of sugar and what does the government there do? instead of going to the source and impose limits on how much sugar they are allowed to put in, lets say, coca cola, it goes to the people and has them pay a sugar tax for drinking coca cola... because coca cola is a campaign sponsor and thus should remain in the gray area where the law does not apply

something like this

Right or wrong, the trend here has long been to push the problem from the manufacturer on to the consumer.

You must hate drivers licences aswell then. And all other forms of licences to. They're meant to protect others from you.

you didn't pay attention. i'm comparing the laws on cars with the laws on guns in USA and how many americans view it as ok to have laws that protect them from themselves but not laws that protect others from them.
