My question in regard to that question is: what does it matter where the push came from?

If someone tells me to buckle my seat belt or get fined, because studies show that there are FAR fewer fatalities and serious injuries when people use their seat belt, then why should I care what the motive was, or who pushed it?

Especially when Big Brother is the one footing the bill for police, ambulance, and road services, not to mention private-sector Big Brother paying for health care costs? (sure, it's our tax money, but they're the ones providing the services).

The motive doesn't matter, the fact it may or may not help you doesn't matter. The choice should be yours to wear a seat belt or not, it's your safety, it's your car. Do you realize there is a bill coming up which would require every American to get a vaccine, those who refuse will be arrested and the president said he would sign it? Even though approx 1%+ of people could die from it, that's about twice the amount of people who die from smoking after thirty years. Do you want your government forcing you to ingest drugs in your body, whether they may kill you or not? Is your body not your own? Is this the Soviet Union?

Read Justine's posts and see what your government is up to, then research my post and read it for yourself, if these things don't worry you greatly then you deserve the oppression being forced on you. No disrespect intended.
