I don't necessarily disagree with you but do you wonder why all cars now have airbags? Back when wearing a seatbelt was a personal choice some folks chose not to wear one. Then they were involved in an accident that left them with huge medical bills and the need for ongoing medical care ( a butt wiper perhaps LOL ). So, what did they do? They sued the car companies for not having airbags installed! They made a concious choice not to wear their seatbeltbut now it was the car company's fault for not protecting them despite their concious choice not to protect themselves! Do you wonder why there are seatbelt laws now? The government and the car companies got tired of picking up the tab because people made poor choices . So, when you make a choice to pay more for your car (airbags aint cheap) and you make a choice to obey the seatbelt laws remember, it is because others made poor choices that now affect you.

If people want to make a concious choice not to use available safety features/measures I am all for it. But I am also all for them having to provide for their own medical care if their choice results in a debilitating injury. Don't wear a harness, more power to you, but you shouldn't be able to then take advantage of my tax dollars to supplement your medical care. If we can agree on that then you won't se me arguing for you to "lose your right" to make choices that can adversely affect your health and my tax dollars.
