Maybe you missed my point.

It's more a case of you missing virtually everyone else's point. And you totally failed to respond to mine:

" Here's something to try on for size. It is a known fact that wearing flame retardant suits (like fire fighters wear) would save a lot of lives in auto accidents. They're big, bulky, hot and not at all comfortable to wear. By your logic, we should pass a law requiring all occupants of a motor vehicle to wear them while riding in the vehicle because wearing them would save lives. Such an intrusive law passes your tests, but not mine. That is where we differ. We separated from England over such as this but that spirit seems to be fading.

To: capt. norm

I addressed that by showing you the alternative that has indeed already been employed successfully. Mercury bobcat and Chevy pickups. RATHER than a law intruding into our daily lives a law governing production of vehicles sold functioned for the end purpose without affecting what you are wearing soas not to be burned.

It was dealt with another way. A similar way I advocate to deal with this issue. Maybe now you could address why my point is invalid????
