Trust individuals to do the right thing?

 With all this protest over requiring one to mask up and get vaccinated for the Corona virus, it got me pondering about maybe it’s time to get rid of all laws. Phrases like, “We’re gonna trust people to do the right thing,” "Let individuals make their own decisions,” and the big one, “Mask and vaccine requirements are an infringement on one’s personal freedom,” fill the FOX News Media pundits’ Corona coverage nightly.

Heck, if we think about it, these same proclamations could be applied to almost any law we currently have on the books; so let’s just dump them all.

Let's review some of the biggies.  If you don’t feel like stopping at a red traffic light, or stop sign, because you don’t feel like it’s the right thing to do based upon your judgement of the surrounding circumstances, don’t stop.  Park your vehicle wherever you like, for no one has the right to infringe on your individual decisions.  And how about going whatever speed you desire in your vehicle. You have the right to make that decision based upon your judgement.  Want to abuse your pet or kid, go ahead, because based upon your decision, they deserved it, so you're doing the right thing.  You probably should protest getting a driver’s license or auto insurance, and carrying that documentation with you, because it's actually an infringement on your personal freedom, not only by requiring you to get that stuff, but also when you to have to show those documents when requested.  That's your personal business!

How about the discharging of a firearm?  You should be trusted to do the right thing when deciding where you should, or should not do that.  Just shoot up in the air whenever you're in a parking lot, if you feel like it.  It's your personal decision.

In a way, I’m glad all these “personal freedom” folks made me aware of how we have screwed up our country by making laws under the guise that we were creating them to protect each other. Apparently we were all duped.  I can’t thank these folks enough for this enlightened insight.  So pathetically sad.
