Government at Work - on Safety
As weird as it seems, "safety" might just be out of control...
Thomas Sowell writes at GOPUSA.com:
"...people are dying from safety rules. Safety crusaders often say, 'if it saves just one life,' it is worth it -- without counting how many other lives may be sacrificed on the altar to 'safety.'
Some safety crusaders may be satisfied just to be morally one-up by making lofty statements. Politicians who are safety crusaders will be satisfied if that gets you to vote for them, which is their real bottom line."
