So I am sure somewhere out there statistics on this exist. I will let those elected officials in the state house work that out.

You haven't given me one solid argument other than one instance you witnessed. Find the statistics if they exist. The internet is at your fingertips.

You don`t like the seat belt law in your state, move. You have that right.

That's a ridiculous statement to throw into a political discussion. You have the right to move to Ireland if you are pro-life. It doesn't make the law any less wrong in America.

I am not here to prove anything. I am expressing my opinion on the issue. That is all.

You are the one who is demanding evidence. Well, copy and pasting quotes off the internet , and relying on snippets from questionable/debatable sources , is not what I call evidence. So what have you proven? What evidence have you presented?

I think we have a difference of opinion on the definition of freedom. You feel seat belt laws infringe upon your freedom, and I don`t see how it does.

We don`t have "complete" freedom in this country, and never have. Like it or not, the majority rules. Each state ( and the people of that state ), will decide what laws they feel are correct to govern their state. As long as those laws do not infringe upon your Constitutional Rights, there is not much you can do about them. Except work to change them ( via electing officials that represent your views), or by leaving that state you feel is so oppressive. What is so ridiculous about that?
