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.

I just watched a special on tv last night about a young teenage girl that was having an argument with her bf, threatened to wreck her car, etc. She crossed the center lane at a high speed and smashed into another vehicle killing a pregnant woman and her son. The teenage girl couldn't recall the accident and was eventually sentenced to prison time. The teenager's family attempted to sue the other family for an exuberant amount of money. Eventually they dropped the case, but can you believe the nerve.
