Reply #45: Statistically you don't need fire insurance, tornado insurance, [View All]

locks on your doors, seat belts, snake bite kits, etc., etc.

Statistics are absolutely the measure which should be used when determining public policy. You are free to live your life based on statistics if you want. I live my life based on anecdotes. I keep fire insurance because, while I know the odds are low I will need it, I don't want to loose all I have worked for. I still keep a tool kit in my car even though I haven't needed one for 10 years because I might need it.

You have the right to live any way you wish, nobody cares. You seem to want to live the way you want to live AND tell others that they must live just as you do enduring risks they would rather not endure, your position is selfish.
