Sorry to be picky but wearing seatbelts saves many lives...
I'm glad you picked up on that. Because our arguments are well intentioned, but boil down to either two points of view. Collective vs Individual way of thinking. Seatbelts do save lives. Do you need to be protected from yourself? Because anytime the state wishes to take away your rights, all they have to do is pass a law to do so "for the greater good". It is by this way of thinking we loose our freedom a little bit at a time.[/b][/quote]

I think the libertarians exagerate a little bit with some concerns that ...really... don't matter all that much.

The gov. telling you YOU MUST put on your seatbelt is not as close as you think with the gov. paralyzing and monopolizing every one of your free-will based actions.

I think there are bigger things out there to worry about. Really.
