Whether it's games at recess, fireworks, or clothing requirements for motorcycles, our society has become overly protective in the name of safety.

My concern is that over regulation of behavior takes away individual choice and responsibility as authority figures and government officials come up with new ways to run our lives for us, all in the name of protecting us from ourselves...
