    Oh, they'd just come up with some other way of draining the tax-paying public. Like I said in an earlier post, they want your money folks!
    Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

      Sin taxes??

      I thought "Sex at noon taxes" - but maybe I read it backwards. (sexat noon ta xeS ?)

      Plus:
      "However, I believe that those things or activities that when consumed or done do increase the burden on the health care system in the long run such as motorcycle riders w/o helmets," (quoting Stinky)

      I think dying from a head injury is cheaper than getting patched up in the hospital for over 6 months from seriously broken bones.... (been there, done that), and I always wonder if I hadn't been wearing a helmet maybe I would have seen or heard the 'cage' that ran me over, and been able to avoid it.
      Haven't had an accident since I stopped wearing a helmet.
      But, in my 'cage' I have always worn a seat belt, even before they were required.

        Oh riiight, good point. I was actually thinking like the rider w/o a helmet ending up a vegetable/being brain damaged and needing care the rest of his life.

        That must have been some wreck! Someone just plowed into you!?
