This is timely for me, because Mr. Clod just happened to do a face plant into a dry stream bed on his mountain bike over the weekend. He was wearing his helmet, and still had the mother-living tar knocked out of him. Cuts and bruises all over his face, and we were thinking for awhile he might have a concussion. Who knows how bad it would have been without the helmet.

As long as we are going to pay to treat everyone who walks into an emergency room, I am in favor of laws that prevent people from stupidly hurting themselves. If healthcare went 100% libertarian, then I suppose they could get rid of the laws and I wouldn't care.
