[RC] the sport - rides2far


Now what do you thing the reaction would had been if we told them - oh yea 
we killed 6 horses in 2002 and looks like we're going to beat that in 2003? 
How interested do you think they would have been in >>>endurance after that??

The same way they'd react if you told them at little league sign ups how many 
kids were killed playing baseball last year, or how many high schoolers have 
died playing football...or how many gooseneck trailers roll over... or how many 
children drown in 5 gallon buckets. At first it's sort of shock, then you 
realize that if you poll a large enough pool, it's amazing how much of 
everything happens.

I am in favor of making our sport as safe as possible. But I still feel that 
it's the blatant repeat offenders we need to be focusing on and quit scaring 
the newcomers just to make ourselves feel like we're doing something.
