Who is most qualified to make the decision on whether or not you are going to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle?

Well, look out – as is becoming more and more the case these days – your governmental “betters” believe it’s their call. The quest to impose helmet laws on motorcycling ADULT citizens goes on and is picking up steam. The latest salvo comes in the form of a “recommendation” that all states have mandatory helmet laws for all motorcyclists from a federal task force. This is an unelected panel of experts appointed by the head of the Centers for Disease Control…an unelected official appointed by the head of the Department of Health and Human Services…an unelected official (albeit subject to senate approval) appointed by the President of the United States. And what is this committee basing their finding on this time around? What else…healthcare costs. Get used to it – the feds are increasingly looking to exercise more and more control over your personal choices and behavior under the guise of controlling healthcare costs with the so-called Affordable Care Act going into force this year.

They ain't anywhere near done making rules yet Teo.

I lost a friend to a motorcycle accident. He was part of a group at the beach that didn't bother with helmets. When the "renovation" of Via de Luna was happening, a car blocked the road in front of him and he had to "ditch" the bike. They removed a section of his skull and replaced it months later. He even came to visit me after the last surgery...but he didn't make it. A helmet might have saved his life.

Maybe but what makes it right to demand other people behave as you would like them to ?

People die...

The Gov has found the perfect way to push just about any law down our throats. To save us....................

We all should be very worried about that.

Teo, look another thing. because of obamacare and how they punish hospitals and have arranged the payment system for them. Now hospitals are going to start spying on your private life.

They have already started this in a couple of states. This shit is going to far. I really do not like the idea of absolutely zero privacy and being spied on all the time. its creepy.

This is the slippery slope right into Orwell's 1984, a terrible world.

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
