I certainly agree. The main problem we have with this type of
discussion is typified by resposnes like the one below.
Check the REAL FACTS with the CDC, IIA, AMA and other organizations
that collect REAL DATA, not opinions.
You will find seat belts and motorcycle helmets actually INCREASE the
cost to society! Death is always cheaper than hospitalization. If the
goal is to reduce the dollar cost to society we should make cars and
motorcycles as deadly as possible.
Please, unless you are REALLY SURE of your facts, keep quite. This
subject has been studied in great detail and the facts are easy to
discover. Some people find the facts -- reality -- hard to deal with
and choose to ignore the facts while arguing.
