I see by the commercials it's time for my tax money to pay cops overtime to sit around and find those dangerous seatbelt "violators"!  I hope we aren’t dumb enough to believe the misleading stats the government feeds us to make us believe the seatbelt law is for any other reason than to raise money.  I noticed from the crying about the less red light runners that nothing the government does is for my safety but rather a calculated gamble that there will be violations to any law, which produces tickets which produces fines and thus income.  Too bad they don't put as much money and effort into catching real criminals, oh yeah I forgot when you take a burglar to jail, you don't get any fines from him, and therefore they'd rather spend efforts on ticket producing "crime".  You'd actually have to dig in and do the research and read the numbers correctly, not the way the government "counts", to realize the seatbelt law is nothing but another baby step to control and parent the public and produces little if any additional safety.  I can smoke myself into a comma knowing that smoking IS a cause of lung cancer, but I can't ride in MY car without a seatbelt which is only good IF I'm in an accident and then it's does very little good, as we all know, if it's your time, you will go seatbelt or not.  Even Luke 12 tells us, "25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"  Certainly the Bible is not speaking about seatbelts; however it's very clearly stating that we cannot add a single hour to our life!
