The fat is in the fire

Freedom means some things you wont hear fiery, patriotic orators say - the freedom to make stupid decisions, the freedom to do dumb things, the freedom to make poor choices which will kill you. Even the freedom to fail.That’s life. And we should be free to live it that way, warts, stupid decisions and all without some other entity deciding what is “good for us” and using the power of government to enforce it.
Awesome post by McQ continuing the coverage of the NYC trans-fat ban. I think the quote above says it all. We are a free society, which also means we have to be responsible for our own lives. The two must go together. I think we are rapidly reaching (if we haven’t already) the point where there are more irresponsible people in this country than responsible people, and those irresponsible people don’t care to be free, they just want someone to take care of them.
