Why are we all constantly exposed to the drone of "you better buckle up, or we are going get you". And parents are chatised and publically scorned for not buckling up their children, in these safety chairs that look like something out of Buck Rogers, that cost almost as much as a small space ship. Control and coercion at every turn. And yet the school buses are devoid of safety belts. What is all that about?
I just got an email from a good friend (down in Katrina hit Slidel - which is a community of some 100,000 just North of New Orleans) who's children are now being bused to over crowded schools, three abreast in the buses. How safe can that be? How come our children are safe in school buses, but not safe in automobiles? Where is the rationale in that?
