“One cannot anymore have an accident with an auto which is properly working, by yourself, unless you direct the auto improperly”

Once again, this is not 100% true.

If that auto is running, even if you put the brake on (which you SHOULD - yes, that is taught), it may slip and roll. Heck, it may roll NOT running. It doesn’t matter that it’s “not properly working” (i.e., weak brake) - no-one can be up on everything all the time. That is the point. You simply cannot erase every accident (and that’s what they are, despite your protestations and accusations of “negligence” or “stupidity”). We are not gods.

Not at all certain there is anything you think is safe, and you know...you’re absolutely right. So we should all live in fear of what might be— drowning in our ignorance of the proper operation of tools that can protect us from the criminal element. Brilliant.. ad absurdum.

In general, the world is not a safe place. However, those who are willing to give up their freedom and rights for security deserve neither and that is what they will get— neither.

The police will be the very first to tell you they cannot prevent someone from being attacked. This is why we have a right to defend ourselves.

We especially do not need continuous monitoring by the self righteous thought police to ensure our absolute safety.
