	    Enough already!  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.
