You are assuming details. Tax dollars spent on homeless people save me money, so spend them. Tax dollars helping those who need help save me a little money, but mostly they make a nice profit, so spend them. Telling someone how to safely drive a vehicle is hardly telling them how to live. Telling someone to get vaccinated is never a total fiat. Austria allows citizens to skip vaccination. They cannot leave the house except one shopping period a week all the selfish people are allowed to shop at shops that decide to remain open. Seems great way to handle it, except I'd like a requirement of a forehead tattoo that says "Too dumb to vaccinate".

Again, you are missing the point.

"Again" ...I missed the point?Lol -- such passive aggression.

Glad you clarified, since i don't read minds and only respond to one's written words. Like I said: quibbling.

Also, in my book (of government), it IS telling people how to live by not acting stupidly to put one's own life in danger as well as others, which is the whole idea behind seatbelts, stop signs, vaccines, and such. No?

For instance, please don't smoke in my presence, since you are polluting the air I breathe, causing me great harm, putting my life in danger. I can think of a long, long list of ways a government should tell their citizens how to live, and also of an equally long list of why it shouldn't. Details matter in fleshing out generalities, which is the deeper point.
