And because of that loss, you think the feds should usurp power by forcing states to enact seat-belt laws, and the states should use ever-more intrusive methods to enforce those laws, such as night-vision googles?
Most bad government comes when someone says "there ought to be a law!" like you've done here.
I have discovered an onimous trend in traffic that should have every driver in this land greatly concerned. I was ticketed in a hispanic neighborhood I had to drive through to work. I always had to weave around the locals obstructing traffic in the left lane, amongst other moving violations. They were never stopped unless they were tearing aroung at super high speeds directly endangering people. Running an errand yesterday at lunch, I saw three major traffic light/lane violations by (guess whom) that would have resulted in serious wrecks had another vehicle present. Since these tickets are all about revenue anway, cops only stop those of us who are obvoulsly citizens who will pay up, not illegals that will disappear. It seems like these folks are driving like they know that now, too.
the thing is...there ALREADY is a law
