Hey TC,
I hear you and understand your logic. The voice of reason we both hear, when taking others into consideration is not always heard by others. Maybe thats the difference.
I was raised to have a healthy dose of mistrust for the government and have never been comfortable with social type rules made to protect me from myself. If a guy has no concern for his family, do these rules really make a difference? The Tupperware helmet (love that!) was sold only to get around the law. There are already laws in most places that require the proper insurance, and that makes sense to me.
I guess it just bothers me to be told what to do. Maybe all those Nuns in school have damaged my faculties.....I do not readily assume that Uncle Sam knows all. Remember people like Ted Kennedy [smiley=drink.gif]and Hillary [smiley=rolleyes5.gif] are making these rules up.
Seems like they should be doing so many other things, like protecting our streets and borders. They seem to be a bit off track there. [smiley=soapbox.gif]
Sorry, you got me going this morning!
