Quite a list of strawmen there, Skippy.

These are the arguments of a gullible boob who yearns for governmental control over every aspect of society.

"Every aspect of society"????

Where on earth do you get that from? Because I think the government's job is to protect citizens from murder, theft and fire? That is "every aspect of society"?

Talk about strawmen!

Go ahead and drive without a seatbelt. When you go flying through your windshield and smash your empty head against the pavement - don't ask the rest of us to subsidize your medical care.

Some folks here remind me of the folks at DU - everything is "all or nothing". Guess what? There is a happy medium. The goverment is not "all evil" or "all Nanny-state".

Because I don't want to foot the bill for idiots - you somehow construe that into: I am a "gullible boob" and think that I "yearn for governmental control over every aspect of society."

Great logic there buddy.
