Well doc, I always wear a helmet. But I also always assume that anything in the huff post is a freakin lie, especially if it promotes more govt intrusion into my personal decisions. why don't you try some new readin material.

Just more leftist socialist crap that we wiu either have to fight off or live with. Never mind that all of my near misses on the street has been caused by cagers who appear to be texting or talking on a phone.

Anything from the Huffington Post concerning doctors kinda reminds me of the Dr. Pepper commercials. All those guys are doctors, too. At least, they say they are!

The biggest flaw in the article was 1 it was in the Huffington Post, not exactly a neutral read. Now where are the good Drs. statistics on closed head injuries from vehicle accidents, you know, cars, trucks etc. When the head hits the "A" or "C" pillars in vehicles or even windshields when drivers are unstrained, don't you think there is some brain trauma going on there? Maybe all drivers should wear helmets.

I would like to see some links on how Doctors view;

McDonalds,

Twinkies,

Smoking,

Drinking,

Drug use,

Unprotected Sex,

Steroids in professional sports,

and why volleyball is dangerous for American youth..


Oh, and sunscreen...can you find something on that too please...

most doctors would have you living in a bubble if they could, that's their job I guess... trying to keep us meat heads safe from ourselves..
