[Fot] SVRA to require head and neck restraints

[Bill Babcock]

Societal cost is a justification created AFTER a freedom is taken  
away. The real reason a freedom is taken away is that someone in power  
doesn't like the choice. Remember Joan Claybrook? Her real reason for  
all those regulations was that she was a joyless witch.

Right now there's some birkenstock and drawstring pants wearing,  
flatulent smug vegan Prius-driving socially conscious green weenie  
that wants to crush your Triumph because he doesn't like the way you  
have fun. I say we line them up behind the lawyers and shoot em both  
with the same bullet. Save some societal cost.

Just kidding of course. We should hang them instead of shooting them.
