Your meme has your answer: "Don't hurt people."

The adage: "The right to swing your fist ends at someone's face." Leads to the reciprocal: "When your fist hits someone's face, it ends your right to swing it."

Those LED lights and the other examples given are all examples of "fist hitting face".

Libertarianism sounds so elegant, but the details of where ones fist ends and another's face begins can get extremely muddy. The example of headlights is a great example. For any motorist to be able to see at night, his car must have headlights. However, the sheer act of having headlights means that any incoming motorist will be harmed to some extent by those headlights. We compromise by setting rules about how bright is too bright, and even allow brighter lights (high beams) to be used when there's no incoming traffic. But still, my being able to see comes at a cost to someone else being able to see, and vice-versa. 

We can also argue over where the governments right to swing it's collective fist (taxes, regulations, etc) ends and peoples faces (the right to keep their money, the right to do as they please) begins. 

We all have our own innate feelings over where these lines are drawn, hence why we can't seem to agree on what the laws should be. It's almost never simple, it's always messy, and you will never satisfy everyone.

LED lights are awesome if you are behind them.

Cry and complain about them to your government representatives. I will squint or flip the review lever to get rid of the pain. I drive a lowered car and the trucks are my bane.

As tempting as all that sounds, I might have to decline.

My Tommy Lee Jones theory:

Everyone thinks Tommy Lee Jones is a dramatic actor, but he is secretly the greatest comedy actor of our time. Literally every role he has ever played has secretly been a dry comedic performance.

He's a serious marshal in 'The Fugitive'? Harrison Ford is being serious action guy? Tommy Lee Jones...The Politics of Caring – Shwiggie.com
