So many govt. agencies in place right now, who's only purpose is to micromanage us . Pretty soon you will be required to wear a seat belt on a bicycle. And some sort of helmet when you drive. We must be saved from ourselves! Quick somebody make a new law.
Did you know according to the national highway safety council , 52% of all fatality accidents were not wearing a seat belt. That means 48 percent were wearing one ! That means the odds are the same with or without a seat belt! Yet they felt those odds should justify imposing mandatory seatbelt laws. The commericals, click it or ticket. Seat belts save lives! No they don't. Not anymore than not wearing one does. The odds are the same.

YES - Like those people in California who got sued because while they were off on vacation, someone's 3-year-old kid CLIMBED A FENCE and got into their pool and drowned.

And I'm thinking those parents had some balls to sue the owners of the pool because it was their responsibility to watch their own damn kid.
