You’re on the wrong site. It’s the parents’ child. Not the government’s.

Great comment. I have some lunch buddies who are Democrats. They think I'm nuts for thinking a restaurant owner should be allowed to decide whether or not to allow smoking in their restaurant.

Motorcycle helmet laws: I think someone is a damn fool for riding without a helmet, but it should be their choice, not mine.

I agree with you, in that it is a matter of indivual choice when it comes to only your life. Without question, helmets save lives. I rode motorcycles for decades. Did alot of stupid stuff. I didnt wear a helmet except for the last three years I rode. My reasoning? It was my life, I
loved the feeling, I had long hair, and many ladies absolutely loved my attitude. Now, older, wiser, I take a very much more practical approach to life.

You’re right.

The market would dictate how well it works out.

He’d get a lot of smokers :)

I notice they don’t try to ban cigarettes or alcohol. Because they bring in a lot of tax dollars.

Hypocrites to the end.

Now I’m in the mood for a drink :)

They should have insurance or some coverage so we taxpayers do not foot their medical care bill.

Agreed; I would add that if they choose to ride without a helmet, please don’t crash in front of me and leave a grease spot for me to have to dodge on my bike.
