CHARLES DARWIN SMITES MOTORCYCLIST PROTESTING MANDATORY HELMET LAW.

Oh, irony, you cruel mistress. A New York biker, sans helmet, was protesting the arbitrary, capricious {good sense} law mandating helmet use when riding a motorcycle when he lost control of his bike, fish-tailed, and was cast over his handlebars striking the pavement. He was pronounced dead on arrival at a Syracuse hospital. Experts assert the injury was survivable-if he had been wearing a helmet. A surly vision of Charles Darwin could only shrug his shoulders and state "Well, the world needs organ donors, too." Of all the stupid damn things to protest. As an irony 'frosting layer' the acronym for the brainiacs protesting the helmet law is "A.B.A.T.E.," meaning 'to nullify, or put an end to.' Riding even a bicycle these days without a helmet is like doing a Kardashian chick without a rubber, or six. It just doesn't make sense.
