But that's not what you will hear from others on this site. They want their cake and the ability to eat it also. They want to not be forced to wear seatbelts, but not have any more consequences established for them.

Most "libertarians" are out for themselves, and themselves alone. Any restriction placed upon them is an affront to their "liberty", and any additional consequence placed upon them is "government interference".

The law is set in place, the consequence is known. This is unacceptable for those that disdain society and hold any government in contempt. It is stealing from them that which they do not own, and keeping from their grasp that which they have not earned.

I've frequented seat belt threads here for years, and I've never seen anyone take that position. But if you ever do find such an individual, send 'em my way and I'll set 'em strait.

Some of us are charitable. Please see post #67.

That's not true. You are confusing us with anarchists. We don't have any problem with laws that are for the defense of rights.

Seeing as how we're on a seatbelt thread, I couldn't think of a better way to describe those who would spend my liberty through seatbelt laws to pay for their own responsibility to either wear a seatbelt or purchase sufficient insurance.
