true... but when they allow people to sue for basicly being an idiot... like law suits against the home owners by the crook who broke his leg when he broke in to their house... ect... you gotta cover your ass... the government too.

I really don't care... if the government wants to tell me that I need to wear a helmet... great... your an idiot if you don't. and I understand everyone saying that the government should regulate my choices... but the fact remains driving/riding... is a PRIVLEGE... not a right. so the requirements for so are part of accepting that privlege. if you don't want to wear a helmet or wear a seatbelt... don't ride a bike or in a car. Period.
