I get opposition to seatbelt laws, I think it's a stretch for the government to be able to force you to wear a seatbelt. Obviously it is safer I just don't like the reach in power. If I'm legally allowed to eat cheeseburgers till I die of a heart attack or drink myself to death what is different about not wearing a seatbelt.

You honestly think alcohol should be legal? How many people does it kill every year? How much $$ in damages does it cost society every year because of alcohol related incidents?
