As some of you may know, I am running for the legislature here in Iowa. One of the things that has always bugged me is when a cager kills a biker and uses the old “I didn’t see him” excuse. Too many of them get away with nothing more than a moving violation and a fine. I’m thinking there needs to be a stronger punishment than that. Vehicular Manslaughter? Reckless Disregard? What do you guys think would be appropriate? I’m not saying lock them up and throw away the key but killing, or injuring, someone should have consequences. Most of you are fairly thoughtful and mature, what do you think?

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
