On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 04:07:58 -0600, with neither quill nor qualm, Don
Foreman quickly quoth:

The conundrum here is who decides who needs protecting from whom, who
decides that, and how might that be done without encroaching on the
liberty of competent contributors. Getting this right would at
least require the arbiter to consistently and correctly discriminate
between the truely needful and artful parasites. The gummint is
demonstrably poor at this and tort litigators demonstrably don't
care either way as long as they get their third of the action.

With expenses, it's closer to -half- the action.


Social responsibility starts with what you give, not with what you
exhort others to give or aspire for power to take from them to
give to others as you see fit.

Bravo, Don.

So, do you think we'll see a list from Dennis? (Well, Dennis?)
My social responsibility starts with telling or showing folks how to
do something safer when they're doing "stupid people things." and
saying "Do as I say, not as I do." when I pull 'em myself.
