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.
