There really is no arguement.......or shouldn't be, if everybody keeps things in perspective.
No safety device is perfect and the wise person goes with the odds.
The odds ARE that helmets and seat belts both have an overwhelming positive affect on your chances of surviving a major crash. No rational person can dispute that.
Having said THAT, I also believe that the government has no business forcing individuals to do the smart thing.
There are exceptions. Bringing UP those exceptions does not, however, change the basic facts.......so what's the point of making mention of it in the first place ??????
You can not, or should not, throw something like that into a discussion.....where the only logical expected result will be to stimulate a more "vigorous" debate......and then complain when that actually happens. Right ???
