With all the political BS going on in Madison these past few weeks, It's nice to see something like this, authored by Pol's from our state  cooldude

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

According to Jefferson, the very existence of NHTSA runs counter to what America is supposed to be about and using tax money to fund them, and these checkpoints, is immoral. 
You do get a feel for what a state legislatures price is, though.

By-the bye, if you look around the AMA's site, there is a form letter to send to your representatives and a gizmo to find out who they are, in case you don't know already.
