Jon Halsey: Agrees with Tommy Kemp on personal freedoms Personal Commentary Jon Halsey writes: I agree with Tommy Kemp but would also add the following: As to "How far should we let laws reach into our personal lives and dictate our actions? " I would suggest that we are already looking over the edge of the cliff. We have allowed the Government to dictate what type of shower heads, commodes and light bulbs we can use in our own private residences. We are allowing the Government to declare that a tiny branch running thru our property and that is dry as a bone 95% of the time to be a "navigable waterway" and subject to the same laws, regulations and restrictions as the Ohio as it runs it's course past Louisville. We have opened the door to allowing the Government to dictate that we must buy certain products even if we don't want them or have no need of them. In some communities the Government is restricting the size of soft drinks that one can purchase. We are now forced to buy fuel that ruins our small engines and many older vehicles.Comments about: Tommy Kemp considers laws reaching into personal life 2016-02-23 17:07:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Tommy Kemp considers laws reaching into personal life Writer asks: How far should we let laws reach into our personal lives By Tommy Kemp Personal Commentary Living in a free society means accepting a certain amount of risk. In response to an article written, citing facts from the CDC and NCADD: There is no question that the irresponsible use of alcohol is something that should be taken seriously, it would take a cold-hearted person to scoff at the instances of harm caused by the abuse of alcohol. However, I also feel that it would be disingenuous to look at the effects of alcohol abuse and not to look at the effects of other things that may cause harm when not used in a responsible way.
