BOSTON -- If one lawmaker has his way, children in Massachusetts will have to put on helmets to go sledding. State Sen. Steven Panagiotakos said he plans to file a bill to require children under 13 to wear helmets while sledding or skiing. He said most kids already have bicycle helmets, and those could be used for sledding as well.

SLEDDING! SLEDDING! They're going to allow SLEDDING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? The epitome of irresponsibility, I tell ya....
What about knee and elbow pads...and matresses around the trees??
Omaha was sued this year for a child who was hurt sledding in one of our parks...so NO more sledding in Omaha...
This isn't enough. All kids should be hermeticly sealed in a plastic bubble until 18. It's for the Children.
State Sen. Steven Panagiotakos is a sissy.
Sadly, I would no longer wager significant money that this was a democrat's idea.
I'd bet a dollar ,though.But there's probably a law preventing that ,too.
Because, after all, there's nothing more important than the chilluns.
It is my contention that anyone who walks the Boardwalk in any of our Ocean resort sites should be wearing a Coast Guard approved Life Jacket.
Little boys who go to Public Bathrooms should wear an approved Chastity belt in case a pervert is hanging around.
And do-good big -brother politicians should find something to do besides screwing in our lives personal lives and passing dipstick laws.

Oops...same thing!
Oh here we go again --- big government taking control of your life --- Hillary would be salivating.
it's a sledding quagmire.save yourself while you still can.
I propost that Senator Panagiotakos be require to wear kneepads while pandering.
Geez, two typos in a single post, lol. That should be:
"I propose that Senator Panagiotakos be required to wear kneepads while pandering."
There. Much better.
Very good. I propose that Senator Panagiotakos change his surname to something more American.
Hey, Steve just wants everyone to be safe, just like him. As you can see, he wears a perma-helmet:
If sledding is banned only sledders will have sleds (or something to that effect...)
