That's the thing. Most people do something that someone else is going to consider being irresponsible. This just happens to be mine. I'm not saying any of this to advocate not wearing one, it's just my thought on the subject. I won't apologize for it. If I get in a car with someone and they ask me to put my seat belt on, I'll usually comply with their request because they are the ones driving and it's their car.
I've often said that you should be able to sign a waiver and pay slightly higher insurance/taxes whatever if you choose not to wear one. Of course this will never happen, because yes they do save more lives than are lost by not wearing one. I'm not avoiding that fact. I just don't want people to come in here and think I'm saying they are stupid or wrong. Everyone gains their opinions and belief structure through experiences in their lives. Yeah, I put up some anecdotes or whatever, but those were the experiences in my life that help me make the decision that I don't want to wear one. People can blast me all they want, but in the end it is still my choice, and in the end the consequences are still mine alone.
