Maine weighs revoking seat belt law days after 75-car pileup

http://news.yahoo.com/maine-weighs-r...195120899.html

Quote:
Sen. Eric Brakey told lawmakers on Friday that it's too bad they're considering his bill so close to Wednesday's crash on Interstate 95, which is thought to be largest in Maine history but had no fatalities.

"It's very unfortunate timing that we're discussing this particular legislation two days after the 75-car pileup that took place on I-95," Brakey said.

The Republican from Auburn acknowledged that people should wear seat belts and said he hopes the accident serves as a reminder of the importance to do so. But said he believes the mandate infringes on people's freedom to make personal decisions.

If you are not ejected from a vehicle for hundreds of yards you get the option of being rattled around inside your car like a marble being shaken in a tin can. I have seen brain damaged people from that last scenario.

Like these Libertarian Bikers who won't wear a Helmet.

Then they crash, get a serious brain injury, run up a million dollars in medical costs, plus they can't work anymore. So then they turn into So************************ts overnight and want the government to take care of them for life.

Another reason I can't be a Libertarian. A principled idiot is still an idiot.

Principles can be stupid, harmful, or evil, and still be principles.....

Yep, and don't forget people getting skewered on the steering column too.

Conversation I had on NewsMax comment board;

"I'm tired of the government telling me I have to wear those stupid things. They want to run every little aspect of my life!"

"I think they're just tired of scooping brains off the road."

"I have a right to smash my brain on the road if I want to."

"In that case ma'am, I encourage you and all of your idiot friends to do so without further delay. That way we can just get this over with and be done with the lot of you."
