I'm not about to start a campaign to repeal the law, but were it to come to a referendum in my state, I would vote to repeal it. That's about as far as I'd be willing to go against it.
Fair enough. I think we would both wholeheartedly agree that this is your democratic right.
I had a counter example all planned in my head regarding obesity and the effect that has, often leading to death but which we don't impose a fine for, but it would just end up in us going in another circle.
I think the difficulty and intrusiveness of enforcement would pragmatically differentiate such a law from enforced seatbelt wearing specifically but.........
Perhaps one for another day?
I do honestly enjoy debating, and you're one of the better posters on this site, so keep up the good work.
I accept your compliment and return it back to you.
I just think we're talking in circles now and considering we're unlikely to change our opinions and we're a bit off topic, I'm going to have to gracefully concede a draw.
Fine by me. As I said earlier in this thread I think laws will inevitably be partially irrational as they are necessarily derived from subjective opinion as to which principle most applies in which situation. Thus there are no "right" answers.
Good talking to you. No hard feelings despite any disagreement. And I will no doubt see you elsewhere on this forum.
Take it easy.
