Contest!

I need a logo for the Safety Police! The ideal Safety Police logo will include the name of the blog, and something to illustrate either the freedoms listed in the previous post, or the absurdities we wish to expose.

The winner will receive a double-dangerous prize: a very sharp pencil!

If you don’t “get” this, you be happier at this site: http://www.ontario.ca/en/residents/index.htm. Hanging around here might help you understand why places like California and Ontario are also known as Permitistan.

Welcome to the Safety Police!

Ok, this is more of a rant blog. If you are tired of self-appointed experts determining every area of minutea of your and your family’s life, you may have found a friend here.

This is a place to expose the complete stupidity of officialdom, and your storys are welcome. The usual blog caveats apply, and this blog is moderated.

I believe in freedom of speech, expression, conscience, religion, and thought. As a Christian, I believe that there is an absolute right and wrong, and I do not counsel anyone to cross God’s boundaries. I also think that since most Westerners have their moral compass laying too close to rare earth, we have become a paraoid socieity, and accept the regulation of almost everything, include the aforementioned freedoms.

So I believe in freedom of behaviour, insofar as we are willing to take responsibility for our behaviour! So, you do have the right to do stupid and dangerous things, as long as you have the liabilty, health, disability and life insurnace to cover it!

What bothers me most, though, is that many normal activities are now forbidden, in the name of “safety.” Hence, The Safety Police!
