I think $5 casual Friday's is an equally stupid idea. If nothing else, I at least learned not to screw with Fat B, lest he use that permit! Besides, isn't that permit technically to cover the "concealed" part, and not for the firearm carrying itself? I could be wrong. It has been known to happen (according to my wife). The part that bugs me about the whole deal is the idea that the financial "burden" of helmetless riders is more important to the government than the actual health of the riders. Just the opposite of seatbelt law arguments for cage drivers. |

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I was also seriously looking at commute times from neighboring states. You really don't want to pay income tax in two states. |

Yeah, but they didn't really mean it. Once government official positions became professional paid positions this was one of the first ignored principals. It reminds me of that Cyndi Lauper song; 'Money Changes Everything'. |

You really don't want to pay income tax in two states. Currently pay state income tax plus sales tax plus high property tax, double state income tax could conceivable end up being less. |

Unless you have an idiot for a tax preparer, you should not end up paying income tax in 2 states. This is pretty common in large cities that are close to a border (Detroit). I lived in MI, MN, FL and NC in the past 7 years, so I am getting used to filing in multiple states. Of course, FL has no income tax, so that was an easy one! |

Wouldn't it make more sense for the insurance companies to make rider protection part of the policy? Example: I'm never going to ride without a helmet. I'd be willing to sign to a policy saying that my insurance would only cover me in an accident if I'm wear a DOT approved helmet. In exchange I would expect to get a discount for being a responsible rider. The insurance company could make up the difference and then some by marking up the rates of riders who will not agree to wear helmets since they will be a higher risk. Does that make sense? |
