We do not all eat from the same plate . And try to get health care if you have a pre existing condition .
Pre-existing conditions only apply when applying for new insurance. If the condition is maintained through switching insurances it's covered. And by eating unhealthily, you are more likely to DEVELOP a health condition, and hence cost the rest of us in insurance premiums.
Meat production is mostly on private land so you do with your land as you wish as long as it does not spill on to mine
Wearing a seatbelt or not occurs within a private vehicle. The only arguments for the "harm" it causes to other stems from what occurs within that vehicle (afterall, the accident is going to happen or not regardless of the seatbelt situation). So precedent is already been established that the "you do with your land as you wish" thing simply doesn't apply in a protectionist world.
seems big cars are being taxed higher
Taxes do not prevent the harm caused to others, the merely shift the freedom to drive those vehicles to those with deeper pockets.
I agree no drunks should drive after midnight or other times ( since i don't drink then that can be eliminated as far as i care )
That wasn't what I originally stated. The fact is that many of the OTHER drivers are drunk after midnight, so you, even if sober, are at a much higher risk of an accident by driving after midnight. Much like not wearing a seatbelt, simply by driving, sober or drunk, you are risking raising all of our insurance premiums by being out that late. If you want to keep everyone from those horrible rate increases, then EVERYONE should be banned from driving after midnight (or heck even after the sun goes down, as accidents in general increase after dark).
Pick a place to live that allows you to own both boat a 4X4 i do
The "if you don't like it leave" argument never works, because the other side can spout the same thing and nobody gets anywhere. It's easier to try and fix a problem than to run from it.
the new resturant goes thru. zonning so that's already taking place
Zoning (while still unfair IMHO), generally strives to group businesses with other businesses and houses with other houses. It doesn't prevent businesses from competing with each other, but it certainly DOES crush your "you do what you will with your land" idea. Can't have a gas station in the middle of the residential neighborhood, because even though you own the land, that would cause property values to fall. Can't have that. Keep in line citizen.
Now i said where your freedon starts mine ends and the reverse is true . i did not say you could not do anything that affects me . What is infered is you can't hurt me or others . Your post only shows the hype people use to cover a me first attitude .
It reakes of the i have no responsiblity to others attitude . My frind that is the reason so many laws have been passed so azz thinks he can tread on the rest of us .
Nobody is "treading" over anyone. What's being argued is that unless something has a *direct* harm to another person, it should not be illegal or disallowed. Rate hikes or tax increases are not direct, nor is diminished property value. People complain about this political party or that politcal party screwing up the country, but it's not one particular group. For the most part it's the alternating stacking of more and more laws from BOTH groups that are ruining what was once a free nation. When you do it the response is "Well, that's the price we pay for yadda yadda.". When they do it the response is "Those bastards! That makes no sense!". At the rate we're going the lemmings will march into the sea in droves long before you realize that you've legislated away all your freedoms. Alternating cheering and moaning the whole way down.
"So this is how liberty dies . . . with thunderous applause."
