Now, not content with the obscene and unholy profits of their previous perfidy, they have introduced these "helmets", and secretly planted EMT agents who strike unhelmeted riders in the skull while transporting them to the hospitals where studies are being performed on the "protective effect" of said infernal devices.
I salute you for your ability to stand up to these evil men.
I guess you didn't see the sarcastic attitude in that post, but it reflects my frustration with those who just blindly say and think what they have been coached to say and what to think all their lives. As well as, municipalities taking up helmet laws as proof that they are concerned for our safety...and go no further. Helmets have become nothing more that a cause to be championed at the expense of true safety.
