Of course, I agree. In the article he makes the flawed parallel to traffic laws. The difference of course is that we HAVE data in that context. This whole issue is just so silly. I'm told the USTAF meets at the end of the year - conjecture suggests they'll rescind the ban. One can only hope. <BR/><BR/>What gets me is that aside from the flawed argumentation, this ban (if enforced) is likely to actually discourage people from running. Great flippin' idea there. Let's discourage members of our statistically obese and unhealthy nation from exercising.<BR/><BR/>On another note, how are things coming along over there? I signed up for alerts on your site some time ago, but haven't heard anything. I'm curious as to what awaits!Gonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383923902998495200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388087372223995882.post-46810899352836939542008-09-13T03:30:00.000-04:002008-09-13T03:30:00.000-04:00You, sir, are right on the money.

Races can be unsafe due to poorly laid-out courses or bad planning or unexpected heat waves, but I would like to see the empirical data that reinforces the notion that headphone usage is dangerous.<BR/>Until then, I suspect the ban is a concession to "purists" can't find another explanation to substantiate their dislike of iPod runners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
