I think repealing the helmet law here in Texas was a foolish move. The only good it did was to make more organ donors available.
It's about safety, not individual liberty, and if you're dumb enough to ride a bullet bike at 150+ mph without a helmet, the state shouldn't have to pay a dime for your self-inflicted injuries.

It's about safety, not individual liberty

And when we go down that slippery slope where do we stop? Cigarettes,liquor and fast cars are unsafe for you.Lets outlaw them for your safety of course. Fast food is bad for you, so lets shut down those. Guns? Are you nuts? Guns kill, lets outlaw those. The list of potential things bad for you go on and on. Illegal immigrants,indigents and underinsured people present a threat to your taxdollars as far as a burden to hospitals. Where do we stop?
