	Reagan has given us 1,000's of reasons. - No comment. This one is too 
easy. BUT!! Worrying about personal freedoms is not important? What is the 
sodomy issue all about anyway? prayer in the schools? pornography?
If this didn't have a smiley, I'd thought that you were kidding. 

	Sure, who am I to know what is best for me? Other people, especially
those in higher (governmental) positions than I, would know better. 

As for that "minor" issue of seatbelts:
	OK, the laws say that I HAVE to wear seatbelts in MY car, when I drive.
OK, Fine. Tomorrow they say I can only have 4 people in my car at a time, for
safety. The day after they say I can only buy cars in subdued colors, for
safety from glare. Next day, I can only buy cars, from them, in army green, 
with fuzzy dice (for that homey touch!)

>> Geeze people, grow up and show some backbone.

You'd be the perfect communist citizen. "They are doing this for my safety, 
Tovarisch." "Da, dorug"

	Ever read? There are some good books about things like this. Try a
little Ayn Rand.  People have to be responsible for people. Get a little 
backbone & be responsible for yourself.
