Maybe we could get the Federal Government to legislate that all motor vehicles be made out of NERF, which would make all accidents result in hilarity instead of carnage.

It's OK as long as we know who to sue if seatbelts CAUSE a death or serious injury. (Ever notice how we never seem to hear about those cases?)

I am all for wearing seat belts. I am totally against the federal government once again getting involved in our lives. Along with Amber Alert, this should be left to the states.

Since the federal government can't even deport illegal aliens or protect our border -- essential functions they are supposed to be concerned with -- they surely should not be taking on additional ones such as seat belts.

Senators Warner, Clinton, Dewine, et.al. Call for Passage of National Seat Belt Legislation

Silly of us to be pouring money into state bureaucracies when we can legislate everything at a federal level.

Better yet, when could same an astronomical amount of money if we just give up the house and senate and have judges legislate from the bench.

When asked, no I'm not being serious.

You can bet, however, that there are people out there that ARE serious about such a change.

NY State has had a seat belt law for many years. Somebody ask Sen. Clintoon what she's done for NY State in the last three years. It shouldn't be any problem for her to answer. Zero doesn't take long to say.

Kristen Appleby, whose brother Michael died as an unbuckled occupant in a 2001 car crash in Tennessee, believes that her brother might be alive today if Tennessee had a primary enforcement seat belt law. "My family will never have Michael back, but I am here to honor his memory by asking you to help save lives and prevent another family's tragedy, by requiring every state to pass a national primary seat belt law," said Appleby.

A similar Bill was killed in commitee during the last General Assembly session here in the Old Dominion. I suppose that the anti-private-firearms Senator Warner figures if his state legislature won't pass it, the leviathan should.


What ever happened to leaving people alone?
