I remember a long time ago reading about a man who's wife didn't believe in wearing seatbelts. In an accident. Laid dying for 6 months in a hospital bed slowly dying. Tore the family apart.

I'm mixed on the seat belt law. Maybe I'm just a confused libertarian. I think I fear that some social health care program is going to pay for that person who didn't wear the seatbelt and is laying in the hospital dying and I end up getting the bill.

But where do you draw the line? It's funny. You get a ticket if you don't wear a seatbelt, but a motorcycle is perfectly legal. Pot is illegal, but alcohol isn't.

Personally, I think anyone who doesn't wear one is an idiot. There really is no reason not to.
