It's all about common sense, some people have it, some don't. No matter how many laws you enact you will NEVER be able to protect people from themselves, plain and simple.

We are in agreement about common sense, but you also stated that you advocate a helmet law. That's the part I was debating. I don't want any laws protecting me from me, I'm quite comfortable taking responsibility for myself.

I agree Dave, I don't think there could ever be a law enacted to protect you from yourself.
