All this talk about seatbelts is ridiculous. Anyone who saw the crash at Daytona this weekend where the driver came out only "shaken up" can readily see the value of being strapped in. Personally, I see those who advocate NOT wearing seatbelts as representing a severe deficiency in the gene pool. These people should certainly not be encouraged to wear their seatbelts as in my opinion, society has no obligation to protect one from one's own stupidity. Look at it this way; this is a perfectly legal way to rid the gene pool of defects. Now if I could only convince the government not to use my taxes to support those who fail to kill themselves, but instead only break their spine at C-4 and end up as vegetables, I would be happy. Try using your belt for a week. Then whenever you get into the car it becomes automatic. You "feel" something is missing if it isn't on. I am sure someone will disagree with my position, however you must realize that anyone who does disagree must represent one of those elements of the defective gene pool. Thus, since their thinking is obviously flawed, nothing they have to say regarding NOT wearing seatbelts, can be taken seriously. Q.E.D.
