<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3297799, member: 92655&quot;]This whole &quot;oversight&quot; thing got me to thinking. I am almost sixty. My wife and i have recently adopted two young kids. On Christmas they got new bikes and we had to run out front in our nightclothes so they could break them in. Totally normal Christmas morning. I saw the odd looks I got from some younger neighbors. At first I rationalized it as being out front in nightclothes..... But that wasn&#039;t it. It was a harsh judgment that these kids didn&#039;t have their riding helmets on for their break-in ride..... It humors me. Had I worn a helmet riding my bike, my buddies would have beat me up on the spot for being a sissy.... So, I reckon times change.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also remember purchasing a car and being given the option of seatbelts. As I recall I paid around $3000.00 for that car. The last car I bought my wife had seatbelts, air bags, safety glass... Even an emergency trunk release! (when did this become a problem?) All safety equipment mandated by elected overseers. I paid $35,000.00 for her car. </p><p><br /></p><p>We have already allowed this oversight into most every area of our lives because quite obviously we aren&#039;t capable of doing for ourselves...... Heck, just thinking about it now makes me want to stock up on ammo and find a remote mountain outpost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
