doesn’t exist to them; it’s all about quietly bending to the will of the bureaucrats and hoping they will allow them to continue to build parts. Scary. I still like to think we should balance freedom with regulation for the best outcome, but Zero won’t allow that. Something to think about. Let’s hit the news.
Hey, I often say we’re living is strange times. It started in the ‘60s with Helmet Laws but we made our point. The government just couldn’t allow freedom, so Joan Claybrook came up with the Public Burden Theory. Accidents cost the public, quick pass a restrictive law. Some motorcycle rights organizations won’t fight for our freedom to choose and they buckled to insurance company threats. Maybe they wanted to make more money selling helmets? I don’t get it. So, comes Global Warming. According to Marc Morano’s book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, “MIT climate scientist Richard Lindzen has laid out the real agenda behind the global warming scare. “Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat’s dream. If you control carbon, you control life,” Lindzen said. We now know the climate isn’t warming it’s cooling recently. The seas rise less than they did 1000 years ago. There are more polar bears than ever before and none of Al Gore’s predictions came true. We are still here driving fossil fuel cars and motorcycles and having a good time. Then came Zero mandates, which you will read about in the news. I know guys in agencies like the MIC who won’t even discuss these issues. Freedom
