Re: Indian Larry dead
I wonder if he would ate the big one wearing the proper gear doing something he liked. Kind of like if Matt Mladin raced without leathers.

So let's not learn from the fact that...
"As an ABATE member, Safety Nazi and crash survivor, I'm all for choices and risk management. Indian Larry evaluated the risks, and made his choices. "
Larry made the wrong choice and he is dead from it. Shouldn't we learn from it. i.e. riding without a helmet is folly.

It's too bad
It's too bad we have to make laws to protect people from themselves. Too bad 20% of your riding time is spent without a helmet. Too bad Larry didn't have a helmet so he could still be with us. Yep it is too bad.

Lets drink to those who ...
No I get it (always did) but I am sarcastic as well. Let's all have a drink to those who die because they did not wear a helmet. Yep they died because of their choice we should admire them for that.

Is it generational?
I just wonder if it is a generational thing (baby boomers) Us Gen Xers and the Yers all have grown up with helmets in all kind of sports bicycles, inline skating, skiing, snow boarding. Even a pole vaulter in the Olympics wore a helmet. In Seattle you have to wear a helmet when you ride a bike, skate board etc. The law is for both protecting folks and keeps EMS costs down. I don't mind giving people choices as long as they take responsibilty for it. Smokers pay for their choice in terms of high cigarette taxes and discrimation for life insurance etc.

Who says it is not for us to decide? He made the wrong choice period. It cost us all more because of his choice. More EMS costs etc.

It is such an obvious choice i.e. given the data .

Re: Strictly speaking for dummies
Strictly speaking he died from head injuries. If he had been wearing a helmet he would of been protected. So strictly speaking he died from not wearing a helmet.

Excuse me how old are you?

It's a Testosterone thing.
I hope you are getting an IRA in your name as well. I have to admit I couldn't be a kept man. I have to be have sense of independence and I enjoy my career. I love the challenge of the deadlines etc.. I also worked too hard to give it up. Maybe I have too much testosterone. Some of us are players and the rest are watchers I guess.

The one thing Right Wing Religious Bush Wackos forget.
They forget to ask the the age old question:
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? Genesis 4:9
If they would search for the answer to that question they might see liberal vs conservative differently individualism is great but it has it's limits.

Peebad is Baby Boomer
I don't think peebad is a Gen Xer. When was peebad born? Baby Boomers run 1945-65 there abouts.

Re: Mr Mom
I spend quality time with my kids and still work. I love my career as well. I just couldn't be a kept man that's all.
