Sorry Thom, but I believe there is a move underway to

require school busses
to install seat belts. This is not a stupid law, and I'm

amazed that you
think it is.


the orthodotist lobby has been fighting this law, tooth and
nail.


Stop.. you're killin me.

Do you ride a ferry often, Jon?


Hell no. I was making a point.

At the moment, there are no requirements for adults to

wear PFDs on pleasure
craft,


Some do gooder liberal tried to pass such a bill for MD this
year. Fortunatley it was shot down.


I agree. What if I need to change my PFD while underway? Would I have to go
below?

So you think the state has a right to tell you what to wear
or not wear?


Of course. I'm a liberal.

Do you believe in helmet laws? PA removed theirs'.


Here, they're required. Most people are smart enough to wear them, except
for a few pro football players who probably played too many games without
their helmets. Do the football leagues require them to wear helmets? Maybe
they should lift that requirement.
