| The REAL issue is, should the government(s) be making laws
| *requiring* people to wear seat belts just because it's "for
| your own good"?  Can we next expect legislation requiring us to
| take vitamins, as well?  [sarcasm]
+---------------

You're talking about the government that wants us all to be good Christians
and force our kids to pray in school -- obviously ``for our own good''.  (I
am not a Christian.)  Even if you stipulate that it might be ``good'', the
government has no business forcing anyone to pray.

In short, YES.
