"...They demand that government protect the citizenry from smoke, alcohol, drugs, too much fun, bad air, bad water, bad food, bad breath; they want government to treat the public as children to be protected; they demand it remove all risk from life...."

This one sentence, the ideas contained therein supported by both major parties, will one day be written as the epitaph of our Nation.

Sad....that in this time of our Nation's history...so MANY are so afraid of the REAL definition of Freedom.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

I understand where you're coming from but this rabid individualism masquerading as "personal responsibility" is precisely the atomistic bent which landed us mothers "responsible" enough to abort their kids and Kervorkian patients "responsible" enough to kill themselves rather than be a burden.

Birth and death are issues for Families. No one comes into this world of their own accord and most are attended by others on their way out. Who, if not the family, is responsible?
