Didn't you know? It's the MAN... FORCING people to buy safer cars just so we can import more oil! Those seatbelts add 5 pounds to your car. Take 'em out! Seatbelts weren't required before 1971 and nobody died! Well, except all those that did, but they were probably driving like idiots! Never mind that death rates have been falling despite more cars on the road, higher speed limits, bigger SUVs, crumbling roads and way more big rigs. Get off the treadmill, man! Just weld another patch into your shock mount. It's probably stronger than new! You're a better driver than they are, so you'll never get in an accident! And if so, that steel bumper will protect your car from damage by transferring the energy into you and your passengers. But your car will still be driveable! Boy, will you be laughing then when he has to have his bumper cover and airbag replaced and all you got was that concussion and dental work!
