This month's nomination for the Wanker Files is Iowa. That's right, the whole state is on my radar because of the atrocity of not protecting their young. The state has no required helmet law for kids that are barely toddlers.
Say what you want about goofy people that choose not to wear helmets, but when a whole state puts kids at risk by letting them ride on the back of a bike with no helmet law in place, someone should burn for it. You can have your child taken from you if they are not in a car seat, so why is it not the same for a motorcycle?
Motorcyclists are more at risk than any other motorist on the road, and no one does anything about it. Maybe there’s not enough money in the motorcycle industry for the government to make any money off of it, so they say, "Just let them do whatever they want." And then, you add kids into the mix, now saying, "We don’t even need to protect the kids that can’t protect themselves." Come on people, will someone please grow a set and make a law that sticks?
Are we so far into the bureaucratic BS that we’ve come to a halt on making decisions that better our way of life and keep us and our children safer?
Iowa, you’ve been officially Wanked. Herbert Hoover and Ashton Kutcher would be dissapointed in you.
