I agree, but it's never going to happen. The people of this country have allowed and even demanded we have a nanny state. There's hardly anything safety related I can think of that the government allows us to decide whether we participate in that safety option or not.

It comes down to a matter of perspective; are we property of the state (community, etc.) or are we self-owned. Increasingly, it seems people agree we are government owned (and cared for).
