I genuinely do not understand what you mean. I agree that changing road safety laws is political - politicians will have to pass legislation - but I still don't see why the author needs to wrap so much of this debate within the framework of progressive politics by making allusions to gun control and police officers killing African Americans.
- wpietri 5y agoWe both agree you don't see it. The question is why you not seeing it proves the two are unrelated ("orthogonal") and therefore shouldn't be mentioned together. From my reading, he clearly makes the case that they are connected through the balance between freedom to endanger others and freedom from endangerment. So to me you seem to be claiming that what "freedom" means in America is entirely unrelated to politics. When as far as I can tell, that question has been central to American politics from 1776 to the present.
