I know that this great government of ours has done some really stupid things in its brief history, however, I think that the seatbelt law is the cherry on top. Even the first law that was enacted in 1968 was unnecessary. As with a long list of other things, that should have been left up to the markets to decide. With all the other things that this country should be worrying about, I do not see how or why it is important for police to be enforcing this law. I think it is a time waster and completely unimportant. I don't see how it's any of our government's business whether or not I decide to buckle up when I get behind the wheel. Now, I'm NOT saying that you shouldn't...or I don't (I always wear it Mom, I promise)...I'm just saying, there is no reason that I should get a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. "It's my body, I'll do what I want."
You may be wondering what set me over the edge about this inane regulation. Well, I have realized that this wonderful new car I have is now equipped with a bell that goes off when I don't wear it. There is no way to turn it off and The Husband refuses to ask when he takes it to the dealer on Monday (for another thing.) I just hate to wear my seat belt. I always have. I think that there is some link to that and the fact that I hate to wear clothes. (Most people who know me know that.) I am just annoyed by them.
I know also that the government is just "looking out for me." The problem is that I don't want the government to look out for me. So stop. Put my tax dollars to ANY other use. It will be more productive, I promise.
Big brother, just PLEASE let the markets do their job. Thank you.

whatever happened to "buckling your seat belt could save your life"???
doesn't matter. not the point. the government shouldn't be involved in it when there's so much else at this point that they need to be looking at.
