I'm going to disagree with this one.  Even though I think everyone should
wear a seat belt (and always do myself), I don't see it as the state's job to
force people to.  If somebody especially *wants* to get killed, let 'em.

I'm all in favor of requiring people to put their *children's* seat belts on.

I'd also be in favor of a law saying that if a person who isn't wearing a seat
belt is injured or killed in an accident, he can't sue the driver(s) for his
injuries.
