I am advised it is bad news when even card carrying Bolsheviks bemoan their own inane laws.
Well it's fitting it's from North Carolina. But do not blame 'Bolsheviks' for this law. Oh, no. Our Senatorial representation (R), who I was told we couldn't live without (because we had to win back the Senate (fat lot of good that it's done..)), was the one who first instituted a push at the federal level for the former separate and sovereign states to pass seat belt legislation. This was back when she was Secretary of Transportation. Long before the days of her wonderful work at the Department of Labor where she begin the ergonomics campaign later signed by Clinton in 2000 that conservatives complain about
Of course we can also thank this wonder woman (R) for airbags, third brake lights, 21 year old drinking age (against the will of the states) and federally mandated 55 mph speed limits continuing at that time. So next time you put that seat belt on, remember to thank a 'conservative'.
NC ping for the wonderful legacy of our 'conservative' Senator affecting our lives daily
Stop pinging me about Elizabeth Dole; I've asked you before, but I'm sick and tired of your dreary diatribes.
Failure to wear a seat belt contributes to more fatalities than any other single traffic safety-related behavior.
If you want to die, be my guest.
Exactly. To quote Freeper Billbears: "Reaganism this ain't"
I believe there is a biography of Senator Elizabeth on Free Republic somewhere, but I could not put my finger on it. She definitely wears the RINO label proudly.
