This one is not an original blog, but IT IS an original thought. Ol' Lawrence just beat me to it. I have posted this small article of his because it nails so many points that I have thought of over the years. (Many of those thoughts coming on my wonderful morning commute on Pellidega Parkway) Enjoy!
“Every day some do-gooder is trying to save us from ourselves. We have so many laws and safety commission to ensure our safety that it seems nearly impossible to have an accident. The problem is that we need accidents, and lots of them.
Danger is nature’s way of eliminating stupid people. Without safety, stupid people die in accidents.
With safety, however well-intentioned it may be, we are devolving into half-witted mutants, because idiots, who by all rights should be dead, are spared from their early graves and are free to breed even more imbeciles.
Let’s do away with safety and improve our species. Jay-walk. Play with blasting caps. Swim right after a big meal. Stick something small in your ear. Take your choice of dangerous activity and do it with gusto. Future generations will thank you.”
