Just so we are clear, the Anon post isn’t mine.
In fact, I made no mention of a law requiring seatbelts. In Canada, I have one, I am happy to have it. I’m not going to preach to you that you need one. My comment was that I consider simply saying “this decision only affects me” to be short sighted. People have to make their decisions with others in mind; “no man is an island” and all that. I find a lot of the “freedom” arguments in cases like seatbelts and helmets to not really consider those other consequences.
Dying is easy, living is hard.
