You know, KPaul, the AMA is as private organization. To stay in business it has to give it's members the support they want. So, since so many of the members are against helmet laws the AMA simply has to work on their behalf. Don't like it? Too bad.
On the other hand the ABATE people are also there to fight for other aspects of biker's rights. Certainly they work harder at it than most sportbiker types. At least in my experience.
Maybe you should move to some country where they dispense with such ideas as private property ownwership and just have the govt do everything. Cuba is a good example. They have plenty of doctors there and everyone can see one for free. Of course they don't have any aspirin but what the hey...
And leave me alone Buz, I know I got caught!
