Svensk politiker vil afskaffe cykelhjelm påbud

En svensk politiker, Camilla Lindberg, vil afskaffe den svensk lov der tvinger børn under 15 til at bære cykelhjelm.

"The existence of moral laws of this kind enables people at risk of relying on the state as a guide for what is potentially dangerous or harmful, instead of developing their own responsibility. Moral Laws consolidate the perception that "everything that is dangerous is prohibited"."

Er rationalitet og logik på vej tilbage i Sverige?

I tryghedsnarkomanernes land

Værd at læse:
"I trygghetsnarkomanernas land - Sverige och det nationella paniksyndromet".

"... There is also a significant tendency, as with psychiatric traditional agoraphobia, that the behaviour accellerates over time. When you have prohibited the residents to ride without seatbelt or motorcycle helmet then automatically comes the requirement for bicycle helmet and seatbelt in the back seat. Every prohibition leads to another prohibition which in turn makes the nation's citizens wonder how earlier generations could survive at all.

Will there in the future be raised requirements for mandatory walking helmets? It may sound improbable, but it's sufficient that one researcher can show that you can save the lives of five or six babies per year if they use walking helmets and the law will arrive like a letter in the mail!"
