You, you, you. Can't YOU turn it off for a minute? Who protects the

idiotic.

So why don't YOU *BUTT OUT* until you learn a little social
responsibility and start thinking of others instead of yourself all the
time.

I"m seeing a lot of "my way is righter" from both directions......

Don, how about you and the gummint and the litigators protect those
who need protecting and have no one else to protect them, and let the
rest of us do whatever the hell we want provided that it doesn't
endanger or harm another?

I was under the impression that's exactly what I was saying...

The government - *ANY* government - is not my mommy. I don't need or
want it "protecting" me from the big-bad world. I'm a big boy now - old
enough to make my own decisions regarding what is or isn't too dangerous
for me to be doing, thank you very much. I'm also the *ONLY* human being
on the planet qualified to judge whether something is or isn't too
dangerous for me to attempt. Not the government, not Joe Blow down the
street, not *ANYBODY* but me has the qualifications to be making that
decision for me.

Some recourse to torts should definitely exist, but we are way the
hell overboard with that in this country.

Gawd, ain't THAT the truth...
