Original post responded to by Representative Lopez-Cantera-a Lesson

My thought in writing this post is should we reveal a weakness to the enemy?  Meaning rights activists vs. politicians/legislators.  When the thought occurred to me that based on the poor performance of Florida "bikers" when it came to protecting their rights last legislative session, our weaknesses, e.g. apathy, lack of motivation, lack of caring, lack of balls, are fully recognized by those who would legislate against us.

It is fairly common knowledge among bloggers, newspaper editors and I suspect most politicians that most people are not going to read much more than a two minute sound byte, if that. Which without doing so results in the further "dumbing down" of Americans making it easier for our Rights and Freedoms to be chipped away at. 

It also makes it easier to unfairly take your money and time through mandating, via discriminatory legislation,  unproven methods to improve your "safety" (ex. MSF curriculum based Rider Training Courses) while ignoring proven methods which, at no cost to you, would dramatically increase your safety, but are "politically" unpopular.

Now it should come as no surprise that the most popular posts on any Biker Related site are going to be about butts, booze and boots.  As the least popular posts will be about legislation.

I love butts and boots and deny no man his inclinations.  I cherish more my Freedom to enjoy these things without nanny state interference. 

To the best of my knowledge Lopez-Cantera is not a "biker".  But by utilizing "knowledge" he kicked a heap of Biker ass last session.  Question becomes, "How much more of YOUR ass are YOU willing to have kicked?

Here is a link to the post he read.  Do what you will.
