[Vision2020] MPD Press Release

[Ralph Nielsen]

I got a new fridge yesterday and underneath the old one I found an  
old election poster for the late Helen Chenoweth, the great  
libertarian and contrarian Member of Congress from Idaho's 1st District.

Remember how she died? She was in Nevada visiting her daughter and  
new grandchild. Her daughter was driving a pickup truck with Helen in  
the passenger seat holding the baby of just a few months in her arms.  
Of course, Helen was not wearing a safety belt -- we don't do things  
like that in Idaho. Well, the truck hit a bump and Helen and the  
infant were thrown out on the ground. Helen was killed on the spot  
but the baby was not hurt at all.

There were many letters to editors thanking God for the "miracle" of  
saving the child but not a single letter wondering why God had not  
inspired granny to wear her safety belt.

And pregnant women who don't wear a seatbelt will be subject to death if
their fetus doesn't survive a wreck, unless they are over 65, then  
the fine
will be $10.00 and a competency evaluation.

Yes, $10 reflects the Idaho Legislature's libertarian views - nobody  
should
be able to tell a person to wear a seatbelt.  You can also pull a  
baby out
of the carseat to feed him or take care of other needs while the car is
moving.  In the event of an accident, that child will be a human  
missile.

No helmet laws for adults on motocycles, of course.
