Today I received the following email from Bruce Arnold over at Bruce on Bikers Rights and found it worth making a blog post as is. I apologize that the links didn't copy over, but there full of interesting information and worth the effort to copy and paste in your browser.
BUSH ADMINISTRATION COVERED UP THE DANGERS OF CELL PHONES
And we hate to say we told you so ... but we told you so!
Bruce on Bikers Rights (August 2009: Special Edition)
Anybody wonder why NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker and NTSB Board Member Kitty Higgins had nowhere to run this week except out the door? It's because WE--meaning Robert "RC" Conroy, myself and many other dedicated motorcyclists' rights activists who have been battling for years against the carnage caused by drivers immersed in cellphone calls--have made damned sure that when asked the question "WHAT DID YOU KNOW AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW IT?", their answers if honest will be damning:
We hate to say we told you so, folks, but WE TOLD YOU SO. Click the links below, and read dozens of accounts of righteous indignation written by "professional" journalists who have no excuse for their years of denial regarding this issue. Some of the links are long, and your email software may break them. If that happens, please don't reply to us claiming "the links don't work". Instead, copy and paste the broken segments into your browser address bar, then click Go or hit Enter. If you find that confusing, seek assistance from the nearest teenager. And be nice about it, as they may soon turn 18 and either (a) possibly go to war and give their life defending your right to be computer-illiterate in the Internet Age, or (b) certainly spend what's left of their life struggling to pay off the $53 trillion in debt and "unfunded obligations" which--like the untold motorcyclists' and other motorists' deaths attributable to this cover-up--are a lasting legacy of the George Bush Administration:

"The battle for bikers' rights is not about patches, parties or poker runs. We fight to protect the freedom and promote the interests of American motorcyclists ... to defend our right to choose our own modes of transportation, attire and lifestyle ... to deter and defy discrimination against us ... and to vanquish those who violate our rights or right-of-way. And in the end, it will not matter to us whether we won or lost. But it will matter to us greatly that we fought."--Bruce Arnold
