See if you can figure out where that point falls in the following chain........
Motorcyclist has accident through riding like an idiot - Motorcycles should never have been invented - Mankind should never have been created.
I do understand that this question may overload that Libertarian brain of yours.
First of all I am not a Libertarian. I believe in fairness for all, not my own interests and hang the rest of you.
As davereid has so elequently pointed out I do agree with you as to where the point of sensibility lies (I will admit I'm not doing a sterling job of explaining it but still some seem to get my point). What I'm trying to get across is that not everybody does and if we take the pious position of "I'm right and everybody else is wrong" then those that disagree with us will do likewise and we will fall in to an ever downward spiral towards total safety and complete boredem. Really, all I'm saying is "live and let live".
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-90)
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending to much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
"Motorcycling is not inherently dangerous. It is, however, EXTREMELY unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence and stupidity!" - Anonymous
