I am not against the use of seatbelts, just against ANY more laws as stated above by hardcore. The government is already way too intrusive into our lives !
Of course I wouldn't waste any time by staging an anti-seatbelt-law rally. My point about people being so passive to any new government regulation or laws is this: WHEN DOES IT END ? Why do we need any more laws ? And again I ask: Why aren't more people angry about the constant intrusion of the government into EVERY-SINGLE aspect of our lives? Of course we need the government for certain things but government regulation and involvement is getting way out of hand ! |
You obviously feel pretty strongly about this. Do you actually donate any time to political campaigns? Have you run for office? Who do you vote for? A vote for Bush was obviously not a vote for small government. Neither was a vote for Kerry. Almost no one in the government cares.
I think you will find when it comes to small government intrusions which have a common good you're in the minority, most of us are not bothered enough to want to defeat the common good. How much freedom is taken away by having to wear your seatbelt or many of these other laws? When the government tries to take away real and significant freedoms you will see action. Why does a seatbelt harm you so much? You say this isn't about seatbelts, how about listing your top 10 other government intrusions that bother you so much.
