How is Risking Your Safety a Crime?

Why is not wearing seat belts illegal? Some may not have thought much about it. But it may be more serious than you think. A little thing in the United States Constitution states that all American citizens are entitled to the freedom to choose, basically whatever he wants, within the boundaries of the law (which are by nature meant to be broken). Consequently, the government would be imposing on these rights given by our forefathers, to save us from ourselves.

Fact: Seat belts save lives. Opinion: The government has the right to force you to do what’s good for you. What is not a fact is the opinion of the government. So when the government say to wear a seat belt because they think it's good for you, it's opinion. But that opinion quickly turns into fact when legislation occurs it becomes a law. People's Opinion? Doesn't matter.

Now we can break down the law and see exactly how it violate everything that this country is supposedly founded upon. First the government gives us the right to drive cars. Great. The government let's us choose from the market which car or vehicle we choose to drive. Freedom of Choice. We are allowed to purchase any gasoline that we choose. Freedom of Choice. We can choose any car decorations, seat cushions, air freshener leaf, and listen to any radio station we can connect to. These are all due to the American right of personal liberty and they are not mandatory, but optional, hence the word 'choice'. But come the issue of seat belts. We have to wear them. Although in the defiant attitude we don't have to because one could just face the penalties time and time again and fell content with your government defiance. Possible, but unrealistic. This most of us like to keep those hard earned American dollars in our pockets that we have to liberty to spend how we choose, in our pockets. This is said because the only was a 'democratic' government can punish it's people for violating laws is by monetary fines, prison time, or death. The latter two being for more extreme cases, this one imposes an $86 fine for disobeying our Government Nanny.

I don't know about you but my 'nanny' lives at home in the form of parents. It is in no way shape or form a complex system of politics, money and lies that govern to most powerful nation on the planet:

America: The Nanny State
