THOMPSON PERFORMS WITHOUT A NET
It's hard to take a purely libertarian stand because of how far we have
come from the concept of liberty and toward the concept of the benevolent,
caring central government.
Take the helmet law, for example. For a libertarian it's a no-brainer to
oppose a law that would require a motorcyclist to strap on a helmet. Talk
about your intrusion from the nanny government ...!
But this assumes many things, first and foremost that cyclists will
exercise common sense and responsibility for their own safety. Some
obviously won't and will do severe damage to their heads and bodies.
