Under the law you are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of others. If you want to be a collectivist or a socialist (because that is the essence of the ideology you are espousing) you can believe whatever you wish. But it is a delusion in thinking you are responsible for anyone other than yourself. When any individual is told they are responsible for everyone else, that is ideological brainwashing. If that were so, then no one is responsible for themselves - simply because it is the expectation that it is always someone else's responsibility. The idea of
collective responsibility is essentially that of
no personal responsibility at all.

That's platitudinous.

Because we allow those of limited means to drive, we require mandatory insurance coverage.

And the end result of it is that of the "haves" subsidizing the "have-nots", not to mention the non-negligent covering the costs of the negligent.

I'm sure if you were hit and injured to the point where you couldn't work your job anymore, you'd be right on the mandatory bandwagon. Seen it too many times.

You're "sure"? Really??? Absolutely sure??? That's amazing!!!
I haven't met too many clairvoyants who are always right. And being a clairvoyant socialist is even more distasteful to me.
