I totally disagree with Steph.  I was there at the
finish line in France and there was NO ONE abusing
the use of a whip. I have photos to show it!!!

Furthermore, this is just another example of and
idiot outlawing guns when it is not guns that
kill, but people.

And, why are we getting closed out of the
wilderness and forests? ...because a few abuse the
privilege and it is easier to ban something than
it is to manage it.

Education and common sense need to be applied.
This world seems to have an ever decreasing supply
of both...
