Summary: Thanks and appologies. 

Thanks go to all who responded to my topic about seat belts.  The 
information and the arguments raised led me to believe that I had no
hope of winning the debate (I was against mandatory seat belt legislation).
The discussion on the net did help me with knowing what kinds of
things might be brought up in the debate.

I appologize to all of those that were subjected to the topic without
cause, the groups net.kids and net.singles.  God only knows how the
discussion trickled into these groups.

For those of you that took part, About 3M characters where sent on this
subject.  I was quite surprised at the amount of discussion and
was also quite pleased.

Thanks again!

Robert Kenyon

P.S.  New Mexico passed mandatory seat belt legislation a few months ago.
Stupidity reigns in government!  To avoid hassles with ranchers, trucks
are exempt from this legislation.  Probably 1/5-1/6 of all traffic in 
New Mexico are trucks.  Prevent Stupidity!  If they want to pass such a
law in your state, make sure that there are no such exemptions.

Remember, seat belts save lives.
Legislation does nothing but create red tape.
We have enough red tape, lets save some lives.
