Gosh, you're right. How dare those liberal socialist/communists require us to protect our children with car seats!! It's our Constitutional right to turn our children into missiles when we lose control of our vehicles!!!
When I was growing up we did not have them, but somehow we survived. But a Nanny State lover like you should really like this:
Washington State Child Seat Laws
I figure within ten years, you will need to wear a booster seat until you are in high school. That should do wonders for young men's self esteem. But by then noone will be able to afford to have a child anyway. (Talk about catering to the seat manufacturers).
I wonder what the rules are when you take a child with you on a horseback ride. I am sure the Nanny Staters will come up with something. After all, to solve every known problem, just pass another law.
Yep, you survived without a safety seat. So did I. But thousands of other children did not.
But don't get me wrong - I believe that you should be allowed to remove yourself and your offspring from the gene pool, if you want to. Just make sure you keep your windows rolled up when you allow your child to bounce around inside your car, so he doesn't injure me or mine when he flies through the air in that wreck.
