Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality?

e3m4n writes "The fictitious 'good samaritan' law from the final episode of Seinfeld (the one that landed them in jail for a year) appears to be headed toward reality for California residents after the house passed this bill. There are some differences, such as direct action is not required, but the concept of guilt by association for not doing the right thing is still on the face of the bill."

Modern liberalism is premised on the exact opposite. Modern liberalism is based in a sort of duty-based ethic whereas it's ethical to force others to do what you think is ethical. Not my position, but there you go.

That's such a vague (if not trolling) description that it's useless.

Let me transofrm it a bit; "modern conservatism is based in a sort of divine-based ethic whereas it's ethical to force others to do what you think is ethical", and with many examples.
