None taken. I do agree that we do the best we can to "mitigate risk" to children via regulation.If one can't legislate in an effort to limit risk. Then tell me why does a society even have regulations, laws and rules in a society that people must live by? I mean surely if we cannot limit risk through legislation every should be allowed to dump their own trash as they see fit, right? I mean if we are going to have a loose society where everyone decides what's best for themselves regardless of how it may effect another why not just let everyone make all their own choices? Why should I have to abide in the speed limit when I have never had an accident speeding?
Of course you can mitigate risk with regulations, etc. I never said anything to the contrary. I said you cannot eliminate risk. Big difference. The rest is just strawman bullshit, no offense.
But I think we might differ in our definition of "best," but I could be wrong. I assume that to you, best means mitigate as much as possible regardless of the cost. If so, we disagree. To me, best means striking the appropriate balance between risk mitigation and preserving individual liberty.
