Research Process.....

Ok I have 5 books and some good medical journals with case studies and alot of information on my subject, which is a mandatory helmet law for motorcycles. I am guilty of not always wearing a helmet but if there were a law I am sure I would follow it. I have spent at least 8 hours on my research(I actually got interested in a book by Daniel E Lee entitled Freedom VS. Intervention) this book goes over many issue that border leaving it to us as a freedom to decide and that almost require action to help keep citizens safe(or do they?!). I never get into books really more informative readings and technical findings on motorcycles, boats, and dirtbikes....This book has made me think though it talks of six issues such as abortion(yes the A word that starts so many heated debates), physician assisted suicide, helmet laws, and legalizing marijuana use in certain cases.
All in all this process is going good, I have 6 or 7 annotated bib's finished and am waiting for one of my books to come wed at the public library. Well good luck to all on your research and remember, ONE MONTH LEFT THIS SEMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cesar, it's always exciting to me when a student hits upon something fantastic while conducting research--it sounds like the book has given you a larger political context for the laws, and broadens the terms of the debate a bit. The question Lee seems to address (based on your description) is an interesting one, and certainly one that I struggle with, personally. Thanks for the post, and for sharing your enthusiasm.
