Absolutely NO! Are we not intelligent grown adult human beings? Most of those elected to government can not control or better their own lives, why do you expect them to be able to help yours? This topes grates me to the core. We have bans and laws that are supposed to "protect" us and help us to live longer. Yet most of these laws and bans are in place to only feed the local, state, and federal government with more of your money. Plain and simple, seat belt laws do not protect us, smoking bans do not protect us, Trans fat laws do not protect us, and car insurance laws do not protect us. There is not one conclusive study that has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that any of these laws or bans protects us!

The whole point of being here on this earth is to live. That doesn't mean to live by other's rules and regulations, but to live by your own God given morals and rights as a human being. Throughout history, there have been numerous dictators and governments and churches that have done everything that they can to take away your God given rights as a human being. There will always be the bad element in society, but we should deal with those elements. I am a law abiding, God fearing adult. I believe that God intended for me to be happy while here on this earth. I believe that God wants us to be free to choose. That is exactly what this country was founded on. Individual rights and freedoms as set forth from God. Though there is separation of Church and State, many have twisted that concept to mean something other than what it was originally intended. All it simply means is that no church can establish itself as the government. As an example, in England, the church is also part of the government. That is what separation of church and state means people. We have the freedoms to speak, write, and do what we choose. Of course that means within the confines of the laws. Any good intelligent person knows this. There are always those who choose to not follow the laws of the land. The laws that I am speaking of are the simple ones. The simple laws we follow to not steal, not kill another, and so forth. I think you understand what I am trying to say here. Basically, my life is what I choose to make of it.

There are many people who believe that wearing a seat belt endangers their lives due to accidents that have proven fatal due to the restraints becoming stuck. So why does the government feel the need to impose that on those who fear them? The answer is simple, money!
