It really does seem at times that modern liberals want to ban anything fun, risky or dangerous. That ain’t my utopia. Safety is not my primary concern in life, nor is it a lot of people’s. Making life better does not equal complete safety. In fact, after a certain point, those goals begin diverging sharply

Without risk, without skin in the game, we are not fully human. Let’s have a safety net, yes, but not a straitjacket.
