Week 3 - Comments

I can definitely agree with some of the things that this person has said. For instance, I agree with the fact that there are worse laws in other countries and that the United States is definitely a sanctuary to a lot of people that are facing these horrible things in their everyday lives. I believe also that we can agree upon the fact that there are some outrageous state laws that are still in play. He also brings up the point about our economy and how certain laws that people push to get passed end up hurting us in the end. It is truly a shame. Even more shameful is the person who is getting these ridiculous laws passed is someone who obviously broke some type of law to get disbarred. Just because a person is a public figure or politician does not mean they are good people, and it does not mean, even more so, that they know what they are doing or talking about. It is absolutely ridiculous.

There are a few things I agree and disagree with this person. As far as certain laws that need to be removed, I do not believe that any law that says you cannot do something such as “J walking” should be removed from our system. The reason being is that it endangers other people. I am a person who fully agrees with the fact that if you do something to yourself and cause only yourself harm and/or endangerment then that is your own problem. A good example of such laws is one he brought up. “Click it or Ticket” is the perfect example of a stupid idea. Now, I am all for people being safe and buckling their seatbelt, but if that person decides to not buckle up and they end up in an accident, then they are the only person getting harmed in the situation. I believe the only other way to cause any harm to anyone else would be if your body ends up hitting someone or damaging property. I know it sounds harsh, but it is the truth. Let people make their own mistakes.
