Helmets For Our State Legislators

If you didn't think things could be any more outrageous on Beacon Hill these days, you were wrong. Dead wrong. Just read this Story for proof.

This past week, Senator Steven Panagiatakos (guess which Party) has now filed legislation that would require kids to wear helmets while they go sledding. It's official: we've crossed the line of stupidity to outright insanity. Truth be told, the only people who should be wearing helmets are the folks on Beacon Hill that would support this kind of crap legislation.

First, it was fluffernutter sandwiches. Now it's helmets for sledding. I can't wait to see full body armor and gas masks for kids who want to play tag. I'd call the legislation "Pimp My Kid".

I stay up at night sometimes thinking about how our society became this incredibly far gone. I'd be clamoring for the baby-boomers to kick the bucket as soon as possible if it were not for my own generation being equally as idiotic. Rome is burning, folks.
