I am free to avoid being forced to wear a seat belt. I can take a bus. I can take a taxi, I can ride a bike or I can walk.
Maybe it isn't me that needs to broaden the horizons eh?
Seems I see more freedom here than some that claim their liberty is being stomped on when indeed they have plenty of choices to select from.

To qualify that basic platform stance, I hold to be self evident, the fact that each person is indeed responsible for the choices they make and the actions those choices lead to.
Your profile page seems to be at odds with your authoritarian nannystatism.
You are also free not to wear one in your car.
Your Car, Your Property, Your decision.
Unlike you I don't try to spread my socialist dogma on everyone else and insist that they do as I say because it will lower my insurance rates. Number one that's a bald faced lie. Not one insurance rate has ever been reduced due to the population as a whole wearing seatbelts.
You need to get a clue as to what liberty means. You need to get a clue as to what freedom means.
Seatbelts being mandatory is not freedom, it is not liberty and if you spout off that it is and support this socialist trash, then you are no better than Hillary Rodham, Billy Boy, John Mclame and the rest of the socialists that pollute this country.
You offer alternatives, but you do not expand our choices with those other modes of transit. In fact, you restrict our available choices.
In 1978, I was in the 'shotgun' seat in a 1968 'Cuda that had no seatbelts. The other car wasn't equipped with them either. In a headon collision at 35 MPH each, all 4 people walked away with relatively minor injuries that required treatment, but not hospitalization.
How in the world did we ever survive? According to you, that just isn't possible.
