It's a very good debate. I've enjoyed reading all of it. Personal responsibility vs. The Nanny State. Rolf hit the nail on the head early on.... I thought this country (The U.S.) was founded and relied on individual responsibilities. "The right to swing my fist ends at your nose" type of reasoning.

Where does the right for The Government to step in and make a predetermination of danger eminate from?

Great debate. Thanks. Wish we could converse like this always......
