seatbelts

Can you believe that there are people out there who still don't wear their seatbelts? This may seem like a boring, veiled "public service announcement" type of question, but what is the deal? Everytime we go out for a drive, I see all of these morons driving around without seatbelts, and to make mateters worse, they drive like imbeciles. What really makes me mad is when I see kids hopping aroud inside the car, too. If you're going to kill yourself, fine, but at least teach your kids how to be safe. Unfortunately, the old saying still holds true - like parent, like kid. On the bright side, they are weeding their unintelligent genes out of the human race by teaching their children such ignorant forms of behavior that will eventually lead to their demise. It is still a shame that the kids have to suffer through it, though.

What is it going to take? We have seatbelt laws, talking cars, annoying automated audio and visual reminders, and we have fatal car crashes happening all over the country, and yet we still have the same stupid people who refuse to put on a seatbelt. I just don't get it. Sometimes I think that our classic "Buckle up For Safety" signs just aren't getting through to people.

I'd like to suggest that we rewrite them : "Buckle up, or it's your ass."
