The Bill of Safety?

• Eric Peters Auto

They did so more than 30 years ago, long before WuFlu Fever – when they accepted being ordered to wear a seatbelt/helmet and to show "papers" on demand – but without probable cause – at "checkpoints."

They endorsed it when they amen'd forcing people to buy car (and then health) insurance. When they accepted the government telling them they would no longer be permitted to buy new cars that didn't meet government's "bumper impact" standards.

Told they would have to buy air bags – and didn't rise in outrage. 

They gave their implied consent when they didn't object to their "consent" being implied … when they accepted being forced to assume the degrading I surrender pose at airports and – even more degrading – spread their legs and let a government worker run his hands around their privates. Around the privates of their wives and children.

All these things are based on the same thing – the principle that it's the legitimate business of government to impose "safety" (however defined by the government) as opposed to respecting and protecting people's rights.
