Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

There is something worrying in society when people like this get lots of airtime. It is reasonable to listen to people's personal experiences, but when it comes to making the law it has to be based on evidence, and listening to people who are emotional as a result of having personal experience are the absolutely last people who should be setting or influencing the law.

In fact I would go further. It is disgraceful that society gives such airtime to such people as it completely undermines the job of society to teach our kids (and adults for that matter) to critically appraise sources and rely on the unbiased, unemotional ones. A lot of our problems come from people's inability to do this.
