      No we need less. His mindset is obtuse and he seems to know it. You can hear it in his voice falling apart when he says "Keep tray locked in upright position...." Civil liberties are not meant to establish rights to endanger other people. That's why the tray tables are up, seat backs upright and seat belts fastened. You see, nobody owes you the invention of the airplane or access to it. Airplanes are not naturally occurring and are the result of lots of hard work performed by manufacturers and the airlines who operate aircraft. Therefore, if you want to fly, you must pay them for the work they have done in getting this aircraft ready. Also, there are some rules so you don't jeopardize all their hard work and everyone else's safety over your self centered desire to not want to put a seat belt on during the most dangerous phases of flight. Since an airline industry is of such immense benefit to everyone, the government has made these safety best practices, the law, but I can see how this logic would elude a drunk.
      Trade offs bring about a better life, not an absolute presence or barring of freedom. That's why we vote to determine these trade offs as they correspond to 21st century reality. This is what was intended by the words of the Founding Fathers written in the US Constitution. Amen.

      @@christopherhoyt7195 founding fathers, constitution, and amen. Wow, do you have a singular independent thought or do you just lap up the koolaid you mongo? People enact laws almost entirely out of fear, and fear as we know is one of the most primitive and unenlightening emotions. Hence why we end up with asinine rules that over-constrain our lives in the guise of safety.

Sorry for bleeding on your car…y’old softie. Now what we gonna do with our NATURAL WORLD??? I want to make a world where Doug Stanhope and Bingo WANT to have 10 kids together, move in the old good-natured hippies to be surrogate grandparents and stunt doubles…Doug and Bingo for the people of Bisbee! King and Queen…no paperwork required…no polling numbers needed…Automatic! Natural! Spontaneous! Easy! No competition…no hate…no sacrifice…no wait! Holy shit…we gonna die sober and well…after we live as long as we feel like living! Glad we were brought together…proud to call you family! Say hi to GERONIMO for me. He didn’t think The People needed licenses to fish either…Tom Wheeler wanted to keep parking free in Old B…me?! Keep it local, keep it pedestrian and keep it free…power to the powerful people! Time to resume THE NEVERENDING STORY…commercial break is over…back to our Natural Programming aaaahaha. The truth is so much better than fiction…wait till we use inner space to explore outer space…aaahha. We The People créate life together. Thanks for bringing yourself to the game. Time to level up all natural. Life is magic. We are magic. Natural law…is no mystery. We do not come from preachers. We come from master teachers. Life is made to be loved. Any other teaching is false. K much love. Meth is a hell of a drug…Nazi mindfuk. Life is to love, to create, it is given to us, the way it works can be understood…but life was not created to be understood. It was created to live…in love…and gratitude and awe….awe family…too good.
