Nope - not even close.

Especially for something that is easily preventable (just put the damn seatbelt on!)

If you want to be a dumb ass and not wear one, then fine - just like the idiots who want to ride a motorcycle with no helmet - sign away all rights to any medical treatment, government assistance when you become a vegtable, agree to pay for your uneccesary and otherwise preventable medical costs and sign away your families right to file rediculous lawsuites for absurd amounts of money.

Do all that, and I have no problem with you doing whatever the hell you want.

TANSTAAFL - there aint no such thing as a free lunch. You don't live in a vacumm, you are a member of a society and as such you have rights, but you also have responsibilites. If you aren't wearing your seatbelt, get in an accident, and labotomize yourself, I and all your neighbors pay for it - and that sucks

So, you will get no sympathy from me if you get pulled over and fined $50 or even $100 for not wearing your seatbelt. Hell, why stop there - make it $250. I can't believe people still have a problem with seatbelts after all this time.

Maybe we are dooming our species to extinction by preventing the stupid people from killing themselves off with policing and advanced medical treatment :rolleyes:
