Message:   "First, the text quoted, "motorcycle helmet mandates ... reduce crashes" is pretty clearly a mistake, not a real belief that helmets reduce crashes. The claim presumably intended is that "helmet mandates reduce head injuries."

Then it should be labeled as a mistake!

"While some may disagree on the wisdom of the law, mandatory helmet laws are reasonably related to an attempt to reduce brain injuries, and the legitimate government interests are: 1) saving us from ourselves, 2) keeping our spouses from going through life without us, 3) keeping our children from being orphans, 4) reducing medical costs spent by society."

It may be semantics, or it may be legitimate to consider ones interpretation of the word "legitimate".

1. For my own education where is it written that it is a legitimate form of the government to save me from myself? And where is that defined? Should I eat KFC or not?

2. Does this mean the government can dictate whether or not I may obtain a divorce?

3. I would suggest the government stop sending folk to Iraq. By failing to address the true causes of "crashes" it is the government that is creating the orphans".

4. What price Freedom? rc
