ATV's and Consumer Product Safety Commission

It seems like no matter what I enjoy doing, someone in government doesn't want me doing it. Quads can be dangerous if not ridden safely. It should be up to me what risk I am willing to take, or will allow my children to take, not some appointed government bureaucrat. It's like they want to control everything one does right down to the smallest detail.

Bingo! A fundamental principle of government is that it tends to increase its power at the expense of the governed. That they claim to do it for the children doesn't make it any less insidious.
