Not your business or concern
In reference to your April 26, 2007 “Our Opinion”, ‘he wore no helmet’. Who is or are “Our opinion”? Why there are no names with this, since we always have to put OUR names on any articles we send in to the paper.
The point you are missing in these deaths, is that the person decided not to wear a helmet and I also feel it’s not your business or concern or anyone else’s, especially most of the bootless politicians we have today to make laws that don’t concern them. Leave the politicians out of this; they have enough trouble trying to figure out how not to eliminate the property taxes in our state. It’s the motorcyclist's life, not yours, worry about your own. Besides it cost the tax payers less money for a death than to keep a vegetable alive for the rest of their life. And that is if taxpayers really have to pay anything, which for some reason insurance companies say it always cost the taxpayer.
Stop trying to take away another freedom that only pertains to one person, who by the way is NOT infringing on anyone else, like you are trying to do. In case you wonder, yes, I do wear a helmet.

Whose business? If you're a biker who chooses not to wear a helmet, how about your family and friends who must deal with your possibly preventable death? Or how about anyone who has an opinion different from yours if they want to express it here?
If you don't want to wear a helmet that's fine but then don't expect taxpayers to pick up the cost of keeping your brain dead body alive because you can't get health insurance for your "freedom".
