Let me get this straight....I can choose to end a pregnancy.....but I cannot choose whether or not I want to wear a seat belt.
Go figure
only people stupider than cops are the people who give the cops the laws to enforce.
this is disgusting.
I hear ya.
I don't smoke, but I believe people should be allowed to harm their bodies by smoking if they wish.
I always buckle up and make sure my passengers do so as well, but if someone in the next lane isn't buckled, that isn't going to harm me any.
I wish the government would quit protecting me from me. Protect me from something else, like murderers, terrorists, illegals, or outsourcing!
Not only that, but you have an absolute right, affirmed by the US Supreme Court, to refuse life-saving medical treatment and to take risks with respect to your own health in your workplace. Why this precident hasn't been applied to seat-belt laws, I don't know. I was going to try it in California, but moved to New Hampshire instead which is the last state with no adult seat-belt law.
Insane, isn't it?
Follow the money, that's all. Governmental units have seen that they've raised taxes all they can without getting voted out or starting a tax revolt. But they still want more cash for their liberal programs.
"To protect and serve" has changed; it's now "To scrounge and extort".
I hear ya.
