Aren't there some good reasons for most of these regulations? If we became unregulated, like China, wouldn't we end up with the same type of unsafe products that we get from China?

As far as zoning regs go, if someone is engaged in activities that poison the air or water of their neighbor, they should be prosecuted for that trespass. If someone lives in a leaky yurt or a small house that is noones business but their own. |

IMHO, there's a lot of gray area between obviously reasonable laws and obviously unreasonable laws. In fact, there's a lot of difference of opinion about what is reasonable and unreasonable. Most people probably feel that there should be no restrictions on themselves, because they will make "the right" decisions. Yet these same people probably want restrictions that protect them from other folks making "the wrong" decision. Where the line is drawn is the debate. |

I think if someone wants to build a house with a roof that falls on their head, they've got every right in the world. Of course it would be a cumbersome system, but the regulations this fellow is talking about were created with others in mind... he should be able to get special consideration from a judge. Laws are important and all, but they shouldn't be unbending, because of cases just like this one.

It gets to the point where you can't create a law everytime someone's in the slightest bit of danger. Why don't we just mandate that everyone wears a helmet at all times? How about a national required Battle Buddy (for non-recent army types, the poor bastards in the army have to have someone with them at all times while in training)? I think we've gone too far with protecting people from accidents, because no matter what we do, they happen.
I'm not saying that employers shouldn't have safety measures for their employees, or that schools should hand out text books with razor blades on them, but in this guy's case? Have him put a friggin sign in front of his house saying "If you come onto my porch, there's a good chance it will kill you." I'm just tired of being babied. |

I read your trailer park crack as implying that he would control his neighbors, but was too short-sighted to do so. I've seen nothing in his prior writings to show such a lack of foresight.

I'm sure he wouldn't, as Mr. Libertarian, have any argument against it, but I doubt that he'd welcome it.
And "trailer park" is code for "ugly development with lots of houses smaller than 900 square feet". |
...containing crackers.
|
I'll take your word for it. Not that that would be particularly relevant to the issue. Unless you are saying he's racist against whites.
