I'm from the side that believes if the Gov't takes some of my money in the form of taxes to provide something like roads, then I should have a RIGHT to access it.

don't get me wrong, Mark, I agree . . . what we are talking about is what restrictions the government cn put on the right [and do restrictions turn the right into a privilege].

Does the government have a right to restrict the amount of alcohol one drinks before getting behind the wheel? I would think so, because it becomes a safety issue. Does the government have a right to restrict highway speeds? Again, I would think so, same reason.

Helmets? Driver's Ed? Into the gray areas here, for sure. Where is the line between safety and intrusion into personal life and decisions?
