I always use seatbelts because I was educated about them. However I would be proud to defend Yef's right to not wear one, and not to be harassed and fined by the police if he doesn't.

I don't ride bikes, but I am tempted to get a bike and ride one outside a police station, just so I can scream bloody hell about it.

If we want to be unsafe, that's our own business. We can certainly do it in other ways besides the ones that busybody laws cover, too.

In my case, these laws are not making me any more safe.

They are however making me entertain thoughts about violent uprising against my tyrranical bastard safety-perverted government. Such laws are not appropriate in a supposedly free nation. Maybe people who want to live under such offensive laws should split from the United States and for a "Land of the Forced to be Safe."
