Reference: Give people safe access to public waters – The Boston Globe
This headline to a Boston Globe editorial perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with the world – people, especially the left media like the Globe, expecting the government to be all things to all people, and if something is perceived to be wrong, the government has to fix it. Personal responsibility is out the window:
“Give people safe access to public waters – The state needs to do far more to ensure that all residents are able to swim and that they take due precaution.”
A handful of people out of about seven million in the state happen to drown in a short period of time, and suddenly it’s some racial disparity crisis that the state has to intervene in and fix (which really means screwing it up worse, usually after spending far more than it was worth).
Get out the mandated bubble-wrap suits!
