Only in America..........We drive on parkways and park in driveways.We insist on our own form of personel transportation,most probably a huge S U V that will never see off road action. We are permitted to drive a 200 horsepower motorcycle with out a helmet,despite the results of a accident to your brain pan. Our choices in autos range from the Mini To the Maxi...........BUT........... Every car is equipped with seat belts.This is a good thing. Seat belts have been proven to reduce the severity of the injuries sustained in the accident, and have drastically reduced the number of incidences of individuals being ejected from the vehicle.It isn`t a leap of faith, therefore, to conclude that seat belts are a good thing. Now that poses a question ....... Why aren`t seatbelts REQUIRED on school busses? Why isn`t our most valuable asset protected from harm in the advent of a accident?Why are we so hardened to a child being hurt or possibly killed just so that the transportation company won`t have to spend a few extra bucks on improving the safety of their equipment. In actually increasing the value of their busses.
Are we raising a nation of criminals? Shall we permit our youth to travel to and from school in a illeagle manor? Will the bus monitor tell them ........."now boys and girls if you see a police car duck down so that the officer can't see you through the windows. After all you know how mad your moms and dads will be if they have to pay a fine for you. Yes I know i`m asking you to do something illeagle now that the law of the land is click it or ticket but ya gotta help us out kiddos"
How can this poor excuse of a legislature require us to wear a seatbelt when we dont insist that our most valuable assets are afforded that very same protection.?
Only in America..........or thats the way I see it here on Arrathorns Alley
