While I totally understand Darunia's stance that government shouldn't protect us from ourselves on anything (it can go too far), this is certailny not some huge deal. It's the principle you say? What principle exactly? This is hardly stepping over the line in any sense. They make roads, which they own, not us, and tell us we need to wear seatbelts, WHICH IS FOR OUR OWN GOOD.
However, I have yet to get an answer to this. Why, OH WHY, do school buses still lack seatbelts?!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
