Why That One Mexico Beach House Remained Standing
Alan: Conservatives who gripe about government regulation are blithely unaware how often those same regulations have already saved their own bacon - and the bacon of their loved ones.
I am old enough to remember conservative outrage over obligatory seat belt use.
Back then, the addlepates argued that mandatory seat belts would prevent people "being thrown free of the car."
That was the exact phrase.

If there were a market for stupidity, ignorance and denial, Uncle Sam could erase the national debt - and the trade deficit! - in the next nano-second.

Routinely, conservatives do not concern themselves with sound, fact-based arguments.
Instead, they seize on any rhetoric - true or not - that 1.) "sounds good," 2.) promotes fear, and 3.) inflames passion.
