"The dept of transportation is saving lives and i applaud them for it."
They are a nanny state and I DON'T applaud them for it. No matter. You are obviously a woman. Women value "security" over individual freedom while men tend to reverse the priorities.
Preserving life at all costs is not the ultimate goal, otherwise men would not have fought and died for the liberties you enjoy, but are being etched away in the name of "safety". By all means, tell people belts are safer. Show them statistics. Plead with them to put their cars in carseats. Just don't make it the law!
actually i am a man...as man as george w. is when he choose the patriot act to fight terrorism....as man as abraham lincoln when he dismissed some of the rights in the constitution to preserve the SECURITY of the united states and keep the union together...were they women....are they not the leaders we love...for what they did....?
