is there ever an occasion or action that requires "personal responsibility"?
In other words is it as I assume the reason liberals OBEY any laws or regulations is because of fear of being caught?
The reason I ask is I heard on the radio this talk host say "well if they make it a law not to text and drive, I'll obey it"!
Is that the attitude of liberals, i.e. if there is NO LAW then I'll do whatever I feel like doing even though it violates the laws of physics or the laws of Karma or the Golden Rule?
In other words do MOST liberals obey laws,rules and regulations out of fear of being caught?
To take this further especially you nerdy liberals...
What minutia of rules,laws regulations did Star Trek characters follow?
I mean did the Federation have OSHA,EPA,EEOC, etc. equivalents?
Were there rules like OSHA has that says 1 water closet for every 15 employees?
Really what kind of regulatory burden did Kirk have to abide with every time he exceeded warp drive?
YOU see what I mean? In 2012 40,000 new state rules,laws,regulations went into affect.
Between 1995 and 2010, the total time spent by the public complying with federal regulations grew by 25%. Such a significant increase over the past decade and a half may well have deterred new business investment even before the 2008 financial crisis.
Over the same period, regulatory agencies budgets grew by 166%, according to an analysis by Susan Dudley and Melinda Warren. The increase in expenditures occurred as agencies created new rules, stepped up enforcement of existing mandates and increased staffing.
