As seen elsewhere on the net.

State Legislation Would Make It Illegal for Anyone under the Age of 14
to Operate an ATV, Dirtbike or Snowmobile
Joint Committee on Transportation rewrites restrictive bill -- still
bans youth riding


Senate bill 2735, which is a rewrite of House bill 3592 by the Joint
Committee on Transportation, would make it illegal for anyone under the age
of 14 to operate an ATV, off-highway motorcycle or snowmobile. It would also
limit operators under the age of 16 to dirtbikes, ATVs and snow machines
with 90cc or less of engine displacement. Anyone born after January 1, 1990
would be required to complete a "recreational vehicle safety and
responsibility course" before they could legally operate an off-highway
vehicle.
Furthermore, the legislation would authorize the director of the office of
environmental law enforcement to further increase the minimum age for
dirtbike, ATV and snowmobile operators at a later date.

The Senate postponed acting on the re-write in its last meeting but could
take up the matter as soon as June 26th.

The AMA urges riders to contact their state senators with their opposition
to this bill. A personal letter or phone call is recommended but a
prewritten email response is provided through the AMA's Issues & Legislation
service.

**********************************************************

Here is a fairly good representation of some of my political
philosophy. They are tough to implement, as it is damn near
impossible to legislate Common Sense.

*******************

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative
and independence.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and
should, do for themselves.


These wise words were copied from a speech by Abraham Lincoln.

*****************************************

I personally think that many of our legislators have forgotten their
history lessons.
"Bread and Circuses"

Smart man, that Mr. Lincoln. Couldn't agree more.

Maybe we can get this common sense chiseled on to Kennedy's headstone.

BUT with a final line:

"However, you can make a comfortable living if you can convince the
electorate that the above statements are NOT true."
