But of course there are contributing factors to health loss that the government or government sanctioned laws and standards can sometimes be directly responsible for, like pollution of the air and water supply. It's a two way street, people are responsible for their health to a controllable degree just like the government is responsible for our general well-being.

I'm not even going to contribute to such a silly topic. oh damn! I just did!

So women's suffrage, equal protection under the law... these are more like guidelines are they?
