Now...if anybody is offended by what I wrote here, well, you see, I TOO have FREEDOM in this country, and so I'm FREE to think that you're a dumb sh*t for not wearing a helmet.
(isn't "freedom" wonderful?!)
Yes! even I, the few times I have ridden sans brain bucket recently(in Arizona there's no helmet law, ya know), have felt like a dumb-sh*t for doing it, and that I'm pressing my luck even further when I ride these beautiful(but decidedly potentially deadly) machines.
I believe Rob was basically saying this very same thing above, but more diplomatically of course(I got'a start workin' on that aspect of my personally, ya know), and that is that in America we are FREE to be as stupid as we want, and many of us take full advantage of "this freedom" MORE than take use of that large organ located between our ears!
Am I RIGHT there Rob? Was that basically your point?(don't cha just love the way I "get down to brass tacks"?)
And don't even get me started on people who don't buckle-up, or resent someone telling them to basically..."USE your Friggin' BRAIN, and buckle up, you dummy!"(again...I got start workin' on that there diplomacy thing, huh?!)
HOW MANY TIMES do you have to hear on The News..."The [pick you State] Highway Patrol(one of them there "darn Gov'ment Agencies", BTW) believes that those victims who were THROWN from their car in this herrendous accident, probably would have survived had they used their SEAT BELTS!"....before you "figure it out", people?
But, believe it or not Mr.RIPLEY, after saying all of this, I STILL believe government should STAY OUT OF IT!!!
You see...THIS is why DARWINISM should be taught at all schools.(both public AND private)
The "Bottom Line" here is: The practice of "thinning the herd" should NEVER be stifled by government fiat!
At least I agree with you on THAT, Larry.
I rest my case.
