There's a Motorcycle Helmet Law Fight Brewing in Hawaii

Whenever I see a motorcyclist without a helmet, I judge them. Yes, I get it's your right or whatever to be an idiot, but you're still an idiot. That doesn't change. Fact of the matter is, motorcycle helmets save lives as they have been categorically shown to reduce fatalities and injuries if and when you crash or have an accident. 

Yet, everyone seems to think they have the right to do whatever the hell they want, despite the consequences of their actions and the subsequent drain on an already taxed healthcare system. Squids gonna be squids, no matter the evidence. 

And this fight, a fight among those who hope to protect an segment of the population too stupid to wear a damn helmet and the morons who scream "It's my right to get into an accident and become a vegetable making everyone I love live's worse!" is one that's currently brewing in Hawaii, as the governor has said he'd sign a far more comprehensive motorcycle and scooter helmet law if it crosses his desk.
