New Hampshire is the only state in the union that does not have a mandatory seat belt law. Yesterday the state senate voted against a bill that would require those 18 and older to buckle up. Although I think it is ridiculous that people argue it isn't the state's place to dictate a "personal choice" such as using a seat belt, part of me thinks the New Hampshire senators may be onto something. If you are stupid enough to not wear a seat belt, I suppose it is some sick kind of natural selection. Those New Hampshire citizens who would rather not buckle up as they Live Free or Die, and then get in an accident and don't die... those are the ones that are the problem. If you haven't figured it out yet, seatbelts save lives. You shouldn't need a law to make you do it, but if that's going to push you to buckling, go for it. Legislate away!
