He believed it was too intrusive. I can see the Governor taking that position... but the Chief of the safety agency? <BR/><BR/>Well, maybe it's worth listening to his explanation: "If we are now buckling up, voluntarily, two out of three adults, that's a pretty good increase [from the 16 percent who buckled up voluntarily in 1984]. The adults who are buckling up voluntarily realize the lifesaving technique of buckling up."<BR/><BR/>Oh, I get it. So it isn't the job of the Chief of Highway Safety to save the lives of those who haven't yet put 2 and 2 together... fair enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12245798.post-1115832291859860952005-05-11T13:24:00.000-04:002005-05-11T13:24:00.000-04:00New Hampshire's plates are "Live Free or Die," whi...New Hampshire's plates are "Live Free or Die," which, while not being precisely sarcastic, are at least kind of funny. I think that Iowa should change ours to "Your Sh!t stinks too" or "I went all low-cost-of-living ethanol-producing fields-of-feed-corn-not-for-human-consumption on your mom last night." But 6 point font is just hard to read on the highway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
