Libertarianism in the extreme, FS. Life would be more harmonious if people accepted that you cannot influence or change evreything that affects you.
If everyone were free to decide what does and what does not constitute a danger, then we'd be in a parlous state. Everyone would drive at 60 in a 30 limit even if there weren't any schoolkids around - perhaps, to some, the fact that they were waiting out of sight behind a parked car before venturing into the road means that they aren't around. Sometimes you have to accept life and the rules that go with it, as I said up top usually the rules are there for good reason. Not always, true - there are some exceedingly crass ones - but usually rules have some good basis, no matter how hard it is to decipher.
Like using step ladders and not climbing on furniture. Sensible and appropriate, IMHO. I won't let my team climb on the furniture as if they fall off then I'll get sued. I don't want them getting injured, and I don't want to be sued.
