Message:		This is blatant evidence of what we already knew, THE GOVERNMENT LIES to perpetuate an agenda. The question becomes (and I know this may brand me as joining the the ranks of conspiracy theorists) whose agenda? It is my understanding that that a congressman after making statements on the floor can then amend his/her remarks in the congressional record so that unless you caught them on film actually saying what they said you really have no idea what they said. We know that the president can avoid vetoing a bill by adding an "executive order" that materially changes the law or at least how it is implemented. Would have to check but I believe Bush holds the record on executive orders. So why should we be surprised that the NTSB follows government protocol (read that "lies"). I read the "why" of this as being related to what some of us have discussed before and as Tucker Carlson on MSNBC stated during the BIG BEN fiasco, that the ultimate goal of the government is to get rid of motorcycles altogether. The logistics of including them in "ITS" is mind boggling for me at least. The "S" here for me is they can back door this without mandating an outright ban. Consider the following: Inclusion of motorcycles in any "ITS" program means exclusion of motorcycles from at least parts of it (hell there are still read light sensors that can't read us). Mandating redesign of motorcycles to make them safer adds to the cost, cutting out a certain segment of the riding population and makes them less attractive to another segment. Mandating what you wear while riding makes riding uncomfortable for a certain segment of the population who will cease riding or at least limit riding (full protective gear in Fl in July ain't my idea of fun). Insurance companies will take this "false" information provided them by the government and raise rates to such an extent that many riders will be priced out of the market (just as the Florida governments intention was to rely on "false" wireless industry studies to avoid banning cell phones while driving) You scratch my back I'll scratch yours. Eventually the price and inconvenience will reduce motorcycling too a rich mans hobby. Kinda like Yachting. My question becomes how do we avoid it. These attacks come so fast and furious that it is only through luck (dedication and hard work) that some individual even finds the lie. Now what do we do with it. We are (at least in the governments eyes and the press) a "fringe" element. Is there anyway to get the major media to pick up on this? Or do we resign ourselves to becoming cattle. Damn why did I just think of the movie "Soylent Green" starring Charlton Heston.
