When we decided to relinquish personal responsibility for our safety to the government, we also acceded control of our behavior to the same. The bottom line is that, had the guy gotten past the check point and gotten himself in trouble, it would have fallen to the very same officers to risk their lives to save his dumb ass. Nationalized health care is the same situation. How long do you think it will be between the time the government takes over responsibility for our health care and begins dictating what actions we may take that may affect the health that they are now responsible for? Not long I'd wager. "whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you. --Albert Jay Nock It all comes down to personal responsibility.

Courts may be the answer, but after the railroading that Olofson got over a malfunctioning semi-auto, and after Kelo vs New London, I don't trust them much. And in 1775, if we hadn't rebelled violently against the authorities of the time, we'd still be British subjects.
