Well said; and I agree with you wholeheartedly in every respect, Drew. There certainly is no nanny, or big brother, or whatever, living on Earth, that knows any better than the ordinary individual in most things; even if some power tripping elitists think they do - they don't.

But it seems there is always a gotcha - nothing's ever as simple as we'd like. While we exercise our own god given sovereignty in choosing our own level of acceptable risk; we ought also, to consciously consider the impact of our choices on others.

If we role the dice and loose, then someone may have to risk their life to fish us out - alive or dead. We are not the kind of society that would knowingly just leave you there to die, or rot, or feed buzzards. Some brave soul will simply have the humanity to go in after you. Think of his welfare too.
