Simple question

Aunt B. asks:

Do People Have a Right to Be Stupid?

Or is it okay to impose your will on them if your will is that they remove their heads from their asses?

I say yes. She continues:

I start to suspect that this is the fundamental question of our time.

Indeed it is. Seat belt laws, helmet laws, anti-smoking laws, drug laws, the coming war on fast food, and a variety of other stuff is designed to keep you from hurting yourself. The .gov should only be concerned with protecting me from others. I’ll protect me from me.

    Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. —C.S. Lewis

    “I’ll protect me from me”

    Well said!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
