I don't understand why people have difficultly dealing with a seatbelt requirement
Because the requirement is unconstitutional. It is taking away our rights. Our freedom of choice. Let's say for the sake of conversation some one wants to make it illegal to say the "N" word. That word is universally a no no so why even have it. Why Not make such an offensive word illegal? So we outlaw it. Then another group comes along and wants to ban the "C" word - pertaining to women.
