Re: Wisconsin vs Total Recall
I assume you mean some sort of generic "you" and not me personally?
When it comes to helmets while riding motorcycles and seat belts driving cars, I changed my mind years ago based on something I heard someone else say (you might want to try that once in awhile yourself, listening to what a person actually says without filtering it through your prejudices first. It help keeps the brain from ossifying!).
Their point was, what about paramedics, police offers, other rescue personnel who have to deal with the injured and the wreckage? Not using these protective devices puts an additional burden on them, quite unfairly.
Civil society requires trade-offs between different peoples' interests for all of us to get along together. In this case the rights of the rescue people seem a bit more important to me. Others may disagree and that's why we vote.
