Amid America's fascination with safety, we are completely overlooking the fact that roughly 40,000 Americans (roughly comprable to the number killed during the entirety of Vietnam) are killed each year in automobile accidents. Over a million people worldwide are killed each year.  Somehow the TV totally ignores this.

The reason is obvious, memphis - in our Calvinist/masochistic society a risk bourne while going to WORK is acceptable, even commendable.  We only abhor risks which might entail enjoyment.

Oh and as to the question - obviously seat belt laws violate the Right to Privacy in the constitution.

Yeah, you would think you be concerned about protecting yourself when you are productive, rather than literally, or no, jacking off.

Option 2

Again, the reason things like no wearing a seat belt exist is so that people who are not smart enough to put one on do not survive.
