Choices ?

I've been wondering about the idea of free will.

How is it a freely given choice if  punishment for choosing the wrong choice is so severe?

I am sorry folks .

My net has been down and will continue to be down for a while, I am borrowing access from an old friend for a while.

But, I am still lurking about reading all your  posts and comments. My crappy cell phone, however will not allow me to comment or post any of my own...suck!

Anyway, I'll throw this one up for a chuckle (or not) until I can return triumphant ( or not ;-)

helmet laws suck !

Motorcycle helmets are a good idea. The mandatory use of said helmets is a bad idea.

Having ridden motorcycles most of my adult life, I am finding it frustrating here in Tennessee wearing a helmet. Yes I know I SHOULD wear one, but isn't that my decision?

I am way past 21 years. At what point am I considered capable of making those tough decisions? Is it the governments job to protect me from myself? I have never requested, nor do I feel the need for such protection from myself.

I really like the feel of the wind in my face and hair. The helmet really restricts that feeling.
