After we introduced the 3-point safety belt, we faced a world of criticism.

1. Motorcycle helmets, airbags, seat belts, insurance, drivers licenses...

the libertarian right has squealed about all of them, along with the obligatory conspiracies.

2. Blaze orange clothing

Required during deer hunting season.

9. That's actually saved my life.

I'm a birder. Hunters and birders are natural allies - both groups strongly support conservation measures that, ultimately, allow our sports/hobbies to continue.

We often want to conserve the same habitat because that's where the birds are. And that means we often co-occur, for the same reason.

We try to be mindful of each other, and we birders generally keep ourselves as visible as possible to avoid an accident. I've never had a firearm aimed at me by a hunter, but there have been some close calls.

12. It's required for a reason.

4. No shirt, no shoes, no service

AND no smoking.

10. I remember when a restaurant/bar smoking ban was first implemented in Austin, TX.

This was the 1990's - I was in grad school at the time.

The city council meeting was live on the radio, and it went on and on with speaker after speaker complaining about their rights, or about the loss of revenue their establishment might suffer.

25 years later, and no one seems to remember this was even an issue.

5. Don't be a litterbug. n/t

7. We didnt invent it, Volvo did in 1959

Engineer Nils Bohlin applied for the patent in 1958

8. The video came from Volvo and rap they took for wanting people to drive safe

[MichMan]

13. My mistake, I wasn't able to watch the video at work and commented anyway

I wanted to give credit to the person who actually invented it for Volvo.

Shame that they failed to do so

11. A Hallmark of Conservatism is resistance to change

Even when its for the better. Its the way they are wired.

14. U.S. military cockpits/flight decks have 4 point. Easy and much better.

A strap over each shoulder that hook into the the middle latch of a two piece seatbelt.
