Your argument about tiredness is how we end up down the slippery slope every single time with government regulating away our rights. Human freedom is more important than being safe 100% of the time, whether your assertion is true or untrue.
I don't need anyone telling me I'm being unsafe and then restricting my freedoms because of that.
I'm looking forward to my upcoming beach vacation where I will drive 6.5 hours without many breaks, and it'll be as uninteresting to do so as spending those 6.5 hours doing anything else.
- emodendroket 5y agoWhat about my freedom not to be plowed into by some half-asleep yahoo? Really you can cast an argument for anything at all in terms of freedom if you want.
- avianlyric 5y agoYeah you tell that to families of all the people killed by drivers who fall asleep at the wheel. I'm sure they'll be really glad you're fighting for their rights to inflict that pain on others.
- snotrockets 5y agoReminds me both of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZITP93pqtdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZITP93pqtdQ and the all too common headscratcher: is it a comment from a real libertarian idiot or a case of poe's law?
- emodendroket 5y agoYou've got to admit, the toaster guy has a lot more personality than Gary Johnson.
- snotrockets 5y agoAn ill fitting suit isn't a personality, but bad tailoring. Re toasters, I just recalled that at a previous office, we had a toaster that was confiscated by building management, as we indeed lacked a proper license to use it in the building. But I guess that's ok, as this was mandated by the leasing contractual agreements, rather than being action that is overseen by elected officials.
