What is the difference in the examples I used? All are government-mandated safety items designed to protect the population. You could throw in underage drinking, nudity laws, and a whole range of regulations regarding human behavior.
It's pretty much "All lives matter until I'm slightly inconvenienced."

It's pretty much "All lives matter until I'm slightly inconvenienced." Nothing wrong except for the fact you went to the unreasonable opposite direction of what you were inferring was unreasonable. Binary thinking. There is middle ground where we can all come to an agreement, if that is what you seek.

It's pretty much "All lives matter until I'm slightly inconvenienced." If you would try making your points without the constant digs, you would be better received.

This is all interesting. It appears that the GOP is on the defensive big time. App. 120 days left until we see a resurrection of this nation for the better. Hopefully the country can unite again and once more be a respected nation.

You can sacrifice yours, both mine are gone. I think you are off on a tangent and reading something into all this that is not anyones intent.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Electing a hair sniffer to make you and those like you feel better will not bring the country together- I will remember how my choice was treated-

What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
