That was one of my main points in my first post in this thread. "If" this bridge was privately owned, the owner would need to cover his personal liability exposure. But it isn't. It's a public domain. I understand that this is the #1 site for suicides, but this doesn't change the fact that the government isn't responsible for protecting people from themselves. Our founding fathers established a government that would provide for the pursuit of happiness. It shouldn't be in the business of policing this aspect of our endeavors. Big government will always reach for more control. It's like a monster that will never be satisfied, so we need to restrain it.
I don't mean to be heartless about these lives, but the more people look to government as the answer to their problems, the more dependent they become on government, and the more government will cease control. Just let us live our lives and breathe! Protect us from foreign and domestic threats. Uphold the Constitution.
