Oldtanker..in theory I agree with you. You should be able to live your life as you see fit and suffer the consequences. Problem is society won't let that happen and it is unlikely we will go back to the old ways.
A cruel but graphic example are the guys that want to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. In my opinion they should be allowed to ride anyway they want so long as they live with the results. But for all the bikers macho bluster and bravado, let one smack a bridge at 90 miles an hour and the EMS guys will airlift them to the hospital, we will pay the bills for treatment, then when they have turned themselves into a semi-comatose druelling widget, we will pay nursing home care for them for years, provide welfare and free educations to the children( it wasn't their fault that Daddy was an idiot). And on and on.
Until we are willing to let that guy lay there and die in the ditch due to his own recklessness, all the macho man talk is just that...talk.
I do not think there is any chance that society will reduce our determination to save everryones life at any cost.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
