No doubt the fundamental problem with seat-belts is they are a gol-darned new-fangled gadget that no responsible driver ever needs. It's time to roll time back to the happy days of the 1950s where we can once again experience the thrill of launching ourselves out through the windshield of a Studebaker! Neat scar tissue helps a fellow get the neatest dates.

I don't think the guy is advocating that we do away with seat belts. If you want to wear one please do. If you don't, the law has no business telling you that you MUST wear a seat belt. Require all cars to have them but do not require motorists to wear them.

Tell me, what is the difference in a law requiring you to wear a seat belt and one that says you must take certain vitamins daily to ward off illnesses that may kill you? They are both equally offensive and go against the right to decide for ones self what is proper for you and what is not.

Nanny state laws have no place in the US.
