Laws for safety if they concern other people than an individual are fine but you, government, or anyone else have no right to protect my health or safety from actions of my own!

When I intentionally endanger my life and it hurts no one else that’s totally my business and none of yours!

I’ve done it hundreds of times since I made a point of excluding myself from the laws of OSHA by not being on the payroll of my corporation and taking all compensation as rent.

I also won’t wear a seat belt and don’t have to since I drive a 65 Chevy pickup which is exempt!!!!

If I kill myself it’s none of your god damn business!

I’ll be happy to defend your right not to wear a helmet or even a seat belt (which you say is legal for your model of car).

But just because you have the right to do something stupid doesn’t make it sensible.

Do you have insurance to cover your lifetime costs in the event of you becoming an invalid due to your choices?

If not, by virtue of you risking yourself, not to death but disability, you are passing those costs onto your fellow taxpayers, which makes it my business.

If you get into a skid, which forces you (can’t argue with the laws of physics) out from behind the steering wheel of your pick-up, on a two-lane highway, it certainly could become my god damned business, if I am in the oncoming lane.
Just sayin’...
