We've all seen the ads on TV and on billboards. "Click-it or Ticket! It's a law you can live with." Well whoever came up with that slogan, you piss me off! Don't tell me what law I can live with, and frankly, I don't think I can live with this law and your arrogance to say that I can only makes me not want to wear my seatbelt more. I wonder if Patrick Henry could have lived with this law.

I need to add this disclaimer. I think wearing your seatbelt is a good thing. People who don't do it (myself included sometimes) are just stupid! But all "good things" are not meant to be laws and that is where I have to claim the seatbelt law is unconstitutional. And here's why...

Law's have two purposes. 1.) To protect us from others, and 2.) to protect us from ourselves when we have been deemed insane. The problem with the seatbelt law is that with a broad stroke of a pen, it has deemed all of us in society unfit to take care of ourselves and think responsibly. It is this insinuation that drives me nuts and honestly "Mr. PR Man" makes for a law I can't live with.

Now you say Andy what is the big deal? It's a good law that encourages us to act safer. Really? Where does this stop? It would be much better for America if everyone stopped smoking. Do we outlaw that? No! It would be much better for America to eat healthier. Do we legislate that? No! (Although on a side note they are considering it). It would be much better if Americans didn't rack up so much debt. Do we legislate spending? No! Frankly, the government needs to back off this issue and if Americans want to kill themselves by not wearing a seatbelt, the government should have nothing to say about it!

So you've got two options, you can just click-it mindlessly because the government and TV tell you to, or you can think about it and the unacceptable precedent this is setting. All in the name of "safety."
