"Mandatory seatbelt laws are wrong because...?"

They're wrong because they are arbitratry and capricious.

Do you see them in schoolbuses with all those PRECIOUS little children?

And why not?

Seatbelt laws are only passed for the reason that they collect more revenue for the greedy government, who couldn't be less interested in actual safety.

Seatbelts aren't a big deal in school busses because in a typical collision between a 20,000lb bus and a 3,000lb car the passengers on the bus will feel a slight jolt.

Deciding you are going to cripple yourself is not a private decision when someone else is going to have to pay your medical bills.
