Well said, Paul.
I don’t need or want the government to protect me from anything short of foreign attacks. What I do need, is to figure out how to protect myself from government, and from geniuses who would “protect” me from cradle to grave. For my own good, of course. Stripping me of my freedoms, for the cause of my safety, always is “for my own good.”
God save us all from do-gooders.
