On Does Janesville need a second hospital?

Had Mercy taken the attitude to collaborate with Dean doctors instead of trying protectionist activities to keep them out of the hospital, Janesville could have really had a great system. Instead Dean has gone out and provided competition, competition which Mercy created the need for.

The real issue is that self serving experts put out an opinion that is in conflict with current law.

If it is the law to wear seatbelts, then let's follow the law, or be willing to pay the consequences.

If it is the law to not wear a helmet, then don't berate me simply because I am following the law. If this helmet issue is so big of a deal to those that do not ride because of insurance etc. then change insurance companies, but stop the blame game on people who are living within the law and their rights.

Ok Pat I guess I will not wait anymore for an intelligent debate. Oh by the way when are you going to address my original stat about head injuries in auto accidents? I see that your running out of words to name call.

#1 accident type of an auto vs motorcycle accident (40%) is an auto from the opposite direction turning left in front of a motorcyclist. So Pat, just how is it that a motorcyclist is to take responsibility for that?

Hey Pat, did you forget to acknowledge the stat about head injuries in auto accidents? I see by your name calling you are not able to actually defend your position with words so I guess the name calling is your defense to anything that you don't have any real information on.

I mispoke the number one injury, the details are From bisociety.org..."Head injuries occur in more than two-thirds of all automobile accidents"

So it is greater than 67%...Pretty high number Pat.

Pat, the number one injury in auto accidents is head trama. Do you wear a helmet in autos, or are you just as stupid as the bikers?

Quote of the patrolman from channel 3000

"Whether it's one motorcycle or 100 motorcycles, they need to be operating responsibly on the roads and following the traffic laws by wearing the appropriate safety equipment that's available to them. None of the cyclists had helmets on."

...following the traffic laws by wearing the...

Sounds to me like judge and jury, not exactly what we are paying them to do...make up laws.

Wisconsin law requires seatbelts, Wisconsin law does not require helmets. So for a patrol officer to make that statement is ridiculous...

This is typical bash the biker stuff. Wisconsin safety equipment is for eye protection and a helmet if under 18 years of age.

Wisconsin law also allows for motorcyclist who consent to ride side by side, two to a lane. Based on the partolmans own bias in his statements you can pretty much assume that he did not know of the speed also.

Excessive speed is always a factor in any accident, otherwise you could safely stop to avoid the accident. There was no mention of what the speed was and the statement from the patrolman was blatent and biased.
