Quote by: Milton Bradley  OK Big Lefty, when you came into this thread, I percieved that were arguing that regulating beef eqated to protecting people from their own foolishness, and thus an argument for more regulations, and more bureaucracy.
Clearly that would be protecting people from unsafe business practices, which is in no way like protecting people from themselves.
So perhaps my criticisms were not entirely accurate to what you were contending.
Sorry if there has been a mix up, because going back to reread, I know I end up confused. |
Oh, no need to apologize. It's hard to keep track of threads containing so many points. I don't know anybody who doesn't get confused sometimes.
But thanks. :-)
For the record, I am against protecting people from their own stupidity in principle. There are some examples, such as seat belt laws, where I come down on that side, but only to protect the rest of us from the medical costs of the fools who neglect to protect themselves.
