Safety is a modern day god. Corporations are invoking its name to justify whatever they want the same way a medieval lord would invoke god in their justification for sending a dozen dudes to beat someone up. "For your safety you need to swipe your credit card before your riding lawnmower will go into reverse." edit: 'the' vs 'a', modern society's worship of abstract concepts is more akin to ancient polytheistic societies than medieval Christianity. |

Fun fact: the words "Salus" and "safety" are, in fact, cognate!
