Not that I want to start this debate all over again, but like I said in a post in another thread, America is all about making choices. Unfortunately there are times when the government has to step in and tell us what is in our own best interests. I believe this is one of those times.
Next time you get in your car what is the first thing you are going to do? OK, you'll probably close the door. But then you will hook up your seatbelt. Why? Because it’s the law or because it’s the right thing to do? If you are as old as I am, at first it was probably because it was the law. Now I can’t imagine even backing the truck out of the garage without it on. Anybody wanna debate whether or not that was a good intervention on the part of our government?
We can all make choices, it is when the choices we are free to make have a negative effect on the rest of America that the government may have to step in and limit those choices. Next time you click that seatbelt think about how the government may have saved your life. Next time you spread out a bag of corn or pile of mineral think about why the government wants to ban wildlife feeding and what you may be doing to the wildlife you are trying to help.
Make the choice, it is up to you, but your choice will affect us all.
