Subject: I don't think you have to trust anyone Author: Sandy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 1/06 7:36pm In reply to: melissa 's message, "Locally you gotta trust people to be looking out for the what's best" on 07/ 1/06 5:52pm I think it is not wise to blindly trust. We elect a government to look out for and safeguard our economic interests. I think everything else is up to the individual. I think individual's keep an eye on the government in those areas that concern them. Doctors will keep an eye on the government to ensure that those economic matters that concern them are being properly safeguarded and taken care of, plumbers are doing the same thing as are fisherpersons. Some laws I would like to see repealed are laws that to me "blatantly" favor a certain industry while impinging on my freedom. I despise buckling up. It grates on my neck, sawing across it. It doesn't matter what I buy for my car, I would have to buy it for more than one seat as sometimes my husband drives. Also, sometimes we take his truck and sometimes I drive his truck so I would need to buy more and sometimes I ride with others. Anyhow, the seat belt "law" may "save lives" but only if you are actually in a wreck. Having never been in a wreck, for the other 3 out of 4 of us it is a stupid law only in place due to insurance companies having a lot of pull and lobbyist to fight for them.
