"Many people, in their "authoritarian wisdom",
deem that risks must be eliminated and crusade to that end. They do not do so to lower risks to themselves (that is already within their power). They do so to lower the risks of others.This motivation is a natural extension of the role of parents which must protect infants and children from dangers that the young do not recognize.
And just as some parents cripple their children through overprotection, many politicians and bureaucrats allocate huge resources to combating increasingly smaller and smaller risks.
In doing so, they *infantilize* our society."
Thanks for the info tho saint james.It's just another door slamming in my face.
