So liberal Nanny State Swinney

wants more regulations introduced to the SC state house by requiring people to wear helmets? If I want to ride around on a moped without a helmet, it is my god given constitutional right to do so. I also think we need to get rid of other over burdening government regulations like forcing auto manufactures to put seat belts in cars. I am skeptical that they save lives anyway. I have no data, just a gut feeling.

Why even have roads? If we did away with roads we could just strike out in a straight line to where we wanted to go. At least until we ran into an angry property owner. Maybe the best plan is for the "state" to own all the land. Something sounds very wrong about all of this.

How about spend a week in the emergency room and observe while listening. Having had such experience as a child/teen through my late Father, a surgeon of 40 plus years, I could firmly disagree with your attitude and stupidity. I learned a hell of a lot by experience. There is nothing like seeing someone two cars ahead of you on the interstate being killed from ejection from their car because the victim was not wearing a seatbelt.
Common sense has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. Dabo cares for his players.
Go Tigers!

it is my constitutional right to fly out of my car if I want to. And I should be able to shoot out the tires of other motorists if they are driving badly.

Well, it is my constitutional right not to have you land on my car, whether from a motorcycle or a car, with or without a helmet. So, we has us a conundrum here, do we not?

Actually it's not. Driving, or riding, in cars is a privilege given by the state, so they can regulate it any way you want. You are free to act any way you want behind the wheel or on the motor ways, but still subject to the law. Which of your constitutional rights do you think is being trespassed by having to wear a seatbelt or a helmet?

The players decision/actions and the team policies are not to be looked at.

There already is a law that riders of mopeds or motorcycles under the age of 21 wear helmets and eye protection. Kelly broke the law.

order to drive, or the tyranny of being required to pass a vision test, or registering your vehicle or wearing a seatbelt, or having to show proper ID to vote. I can think of a lot more tyrannical laws already in place that make much less sense than wearing a dang helmet.

Those are just about the stupidest analogies I can even imagine!
At first, I thought you were being satirical but evidently, you really believe this garbage.
You really believe seat belts should be outlawed and you don't believe they save lives? It doesn't take much of a Google search to find out that literally thousands of lives are saved every year from seat belt use.

I also think your insurance rates should be jacked up so I don't have to pay your share of the damages you are going to do to yourself. Then you will be totally free to #### yourself up, and I don't have to pay extra for it. And don't go to the hospital expecting to be taken care of for nothing either. NOW, you're free.

Either you don't know how to use Google, or you don't know how to interpret statistics.
Here's the data on seatbelts
http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/seatbelts/facts.html
(50% effective at reducing fatalities)
And you can google motorcycle helmet safety statistics, but to save you the trouble they're about 37% effective at preventing fatalities.
