#1 You can't outlaw Survival of the Fittest - eventually the terminally stupid will succeed in exiting the gene pool.

#2 I got the "cure" while dove hunting on the hood of a 1957 chevy. A sudden stop captured my immediate attention.

#3 Trying to outlaw human stupidity will only triple or quadruple the size of the law library. It won't stop it, but it'll make the lawyers happy. Sorta like wrestling with a pig.

#4 Let em spend their time trying to do stuff like that.
At least they won't have as much time to come up with clever new tax schemes to bleed us dry.

#5 Sorry Jim, but they always have time for that. And it doesn't even take that long ...

Serves 'ya right for trying to flush hippies from a moving vehicle. We always jack-lighted 'em.

You were not postioned correctly; that's what them two little hood ornament thingys were for; the ones that looked like swept back jet aircraft tails.....Called 'em hood ornamnets, in reality they were anti-skid devices.

#10 Why does he even care?

#11 Maybe because the rest of us end up picking up the medical bills for failed attempts. And because sometimes the drivers swerve and innocent others get injured or killed.

Just a guess. It's a bit like the motorcycle helmet issue only these are teens. With adults, I'd be happy to have them sign a legally binding waiver of all medical care at my expense or that of my insurance company and then they can drive without helmets to their hearts' content. With teens it's a little more complicated ...

#12 Methinks the "surfers" may have a bit too much chlorine in their end of the gene pool.

#13 Not insured? No liability, it's in the hands of the operator, insh-allan.

#15 Aren't they supposed to wear helmets?

Except we pay just as much in legal fees and processes that further bog down our DAs and other prosecutors who are already making plea bargains in dealing with rape, murder, and robbery because both their offices and the courts are stuffed to the gills. You make it a civil matter with the effected medical service provider [which in most cases will be the city/county/state] able to administratively collect on charges against the family or estate.
