: I'm against helmet laws, and seat belt laws, btw. I mean, the only person in danger is yourself, and you should have the right to take chances and make your own choices with your own life.
But what if that person is a member of a state-paid health insurance program? They crash their car and get grievously injured, due to not having their seatbelt on. Should the state (us!) have to pay to keep them on life support as a result of their personal choice?
This is why I don't talk politics. Or religion. Too much gray area.
