Now there's a fresh perspective.........until now I had thought it got into the law because AMA wanted it there, and Senator Inhofe obliged them. Now I wonder, did Sen Inhofe oblige AMA or did AMA oblige Sen Inhofe by lobbying for it? It's getting harder to tell the screwees from the screwors in this slapshtick . No doubts about which role all the modelers in the USA fall into though.
