I live in Colorado. Schultheis is a fuckwit product of the Colorado Springs theocracy. They believe they are the bastion of family values. Try taking your sports-playing kid down there to compete. The "Christian" family values are demonstrated by the parents screaming in the stands for their teams to "hurt 'em" the opponents....at a recreation hockey game for nine year olds. Really, I'm not kidding. When I mentioned it to one of the parents I was told us "liberals from Denver" come down there (C. Springs) and pollute their children with anti-family values. Really. It is acceptable to hurt nine year olds playing a game?

The ONLY role of civil law is to help people who are wronged by others: ie to 'protect them (the plaintiffs) from their responsibilities'. If he really believes this, then, by extension he also believes that negligence, libel, ect, should be unpunishable. The question addressed by that particular snark isn't whether his beliefs are reasonable; it's whether they're consistent (in effect, with the current practice of the US government, which is not a useful argument). It does serve, in a sense, to point out that his view fall well outside mainstream opinion, thereby putting the balance of proof on him to prove everyone else wrong in believing in civil law and legal remedy. Or at least to prove that 99.99999% of the remaining humans have a reponsibility to prove that legal remedy makes sense.
