in that case you're going to have to legislate to remove all possible
self-imposed risk from the world. You're going to have to make smoking
illegal, you're going to have to make sunbathing for longer than 30
minutes a day illegal, crossing the road while the green man is
flashing, walking the streets without wearing a helmet,...

Bob, it is not black/white scenario like you seem to be trying to paint
it. I am thinking that "self-imposed" is the keyword here. If a state
can protect you from somebody *else's* stupidity (because, pardon my
bluntness, you're not omniscient or omnipotent) and do so for $10 per
car or $10 per motorcycle, they might as well go on and do it.
