setting aside the WoD at this point, you have to look at whats being done to ensure safety on the road. we have government funded and endorsed driving safety classes, but who is causing the accidents? it's people.
I know that the things I learned from my family are the best lessons I've ever learned, but nothing the government has taught me, aside from being an air traffic controller, has ever been better than what my parents taught me.

let us not use arguments of extreme opposites. it doesn't work. Do we need laws? yes, we do. But laws SHOULD be, and used to be at one point in history, to simply define what would happen if you caused harm to another. Nowadays, we have laws that ban conduct, even if that conduct causes no harm to anyone....just that it MIGHT cause harm to someone. Do we really need to be babysat by the government now?
