i may have already stated my point on this particular subject, but ive been thinking about it a lot lately due to an annoying seatbelt campaign: 'click it, or ticket'.
i think that all so-called common sense laws should be repealed. such laws include the motorcycle helmet requirement, seat-belt laws, and requirements to have insurance on your car. no need to protect those WITH MY MONEY (where do you think taxes go?) who wouldnt do it for themselves. ive never seen or heard of anyone being killed or injured because someone else didnt wear their seatbelt or helmet. these people really do deserve what they get. its a little thing called natural selection. in this day and age, it has taken on a different form with many more ways to "survive", or not get killed. if people wish to intentially put themselves in danger, hey, best of luck asshole. there is no need to set up roadblocks to check for seatbelts (ive seen them and been stopped in them in vermont). nevermind a statewide campaign to 'raise awareness of the good practice of wearing your seat-belt' complete with a series of television and radio commercials as well as countless billboards. this is money that DOES NOT need to be spent.
at this point and time i would like to point out that for that reason, NH is awesome. still with no car insurance requirement, lax gun laws, an 18 and under seatbelt policy (raised from 12 and under within the last 10 years), and no motorcycle helmet law (i think). and guess what? no income or sales tax either ... what a wierd coincidence.
the more stupid people we keep alive, the more stupid things we will see people do. more thoughts soon. maybe.

in a sure sign of increased laziness with our speech, ive been noticing the annoying style of AOL IM lingo (lol, wtf, brb, etc.) being used in actual dialogue. here are a few of the examples, followed by there full length counterpart:
whatev .... whatever
dec .... decent
def .... definitely
This has to stopped.
