Seatbelt laws are a waste of time.

We as a society have decided that going 70 MPH and getting to our destination faster is worth the trade off of a few deaths. "Safety" laws just make us feel a little less guilty about our decision.

Just make the maximum speed limit 25 MPH and the seatbelt issue goes away.

OK, here's the plan:

1)George Bush "removes" all the Democrats from Congress.
2)Republicans repeal the Bill of Rights.
3)Police and military then prevent any citizen, especially members of the press, from complaining about frivolous things like "Too many people are dying in car accidents", or "There's too much corruption", or "We want our freedom back".
4)Once all the peasants are properly conditioned, we take away all their cars, along with the rest of their property, and issue everyone a small apartment, a job they can walk to, and a monthly allowance of food, and other luxuries like toilet paper.

Since everyone now has an equal share of everything they need, given to them through the wisdom of those in charge (George Bush and his underlings) happiness and prosperity will spread throughout the land, from sea to shining sea, and forever make a utopia of the United States of America.

Go ahead............Make me!

I still don't use the damn things. They are worthless unless you install a racing harness and roll cage.

Do Seatbelt Laws Save Lives?

[spinestein]

[We must accept that —even when armed with all the facts—some people will still choose risky behavior. Instead of saving us from ourselves, regulators should take a deep breath, allow beltless motorists to put themselves at risk, and go hassle the dangerous drivers.]

Yup.

10. TREES. We need to cut down ALL trees. Trees are always falling on people killing them. This is unacceptable. In the interest of everyone's safety tress need to be gone.
