You don’t want to wear a helmet, fine I support that. But the seatbelt keeps your body from being a projectile in a wreck and hurting someone else. I don’t mind that one.

I drove for a decade or so prior to seatbelts being a thing, other than things that you have to navigate around that burned your legs when you got in the car, and that was not epidemic. I’m sure it happened, but it wasn’t even a point of discussion amongst people until it’s how that legislation was being packaged. Only then did it even come up in discussion.

There’s always going to be very good reasoning to restrict and regulate. It’s up to us I suppose how much we are willing to accept it, but I don’t see anything that will prevent people from eventually accepting and even justifying given time. All the while, freedom and liberty is eroded. Look at the EU right now. They’re creating green zones to prevent ICE vehicles from operating within to of course, save the planet. They are even setting deadlines for all ICE vehicles to be banned. First the regulation and then the ban. There are people who are clearly upset, some up in arms over it, but I guarantee you that given a little more time, it will be implemented, and soon enough, they will forget all about it. These people can’t even pray in front of an abortion clinic. But that still wasn’t good enough, so they started arresting for praying silently as well. This is how it’s done, a slow and methodical erosion, and all to create the perfect world that powerful people envision as the perfect society for mankind.
