Vic,
If that is your reasoning, then you should not stop with
supporting motorcycle helmet laws. You should also campaign for
car helmet laws, and force drivers to buy and wear HANS devices
and fire suits. You should also support laws prohibiting fast
food and sedentary activity, and forcing people to only eat
healthy foods and forcing them to exercise. In fact, how about
you? You look suspicious to me. I'm sure your posting time spent
here is far too sedentary to be healthy; you are not being
"responsible" - the govt obviously needs to force some
responsibility on you.
Seriously vic, with "there is liberty and there is liberty", you
pick and choose; you ignore consistency and don't understand the
necessity behind universal application.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

there is liberty and there is liberty. its important to
differentiate
liberty from anarchy, which is what the LP platforms read like.
liberty
should not be at any price.
case in point, floridas accident death rate for motorcyclist has
dramatically increased since the other bush repealed compulsory
helmet
laws. there is no compensating decrease in death rate to make up
for
this increase.
the public wants some responsiblity enforced by government.
the LP has very much stood for liberty at any price, liberty
irespective
of the real human cost, which imo has doomed it to irrelavence.
what the LP seems to be doing, which I fully support is
reinventing itself
as a party that actually gives a shit.
the LP must learn to balance freedom and liberty vs
responsiblity. you
cant have one without the other.
