1) Excellent Post [by Anonymous Citizen on August 18, 2008]But I think that the speed should be lowered to about 25 with the death penalty for anyone exceeding it by more than 5 mph. After all, it's "for the children". How can anyone be against that? You would have to be a child hater to be against something like this.

Booster seats are fine, but cars are still deathtraps for our precious young ones! I propose the following regulations for future safety mandates:
1) padded body armor
2) 5 point safety belts
3) lowering the speed limit on ALL Michigan roads to no greater than 35 mph (this is perhaps the most important)
4) mandatory helmet laws for all occupants of automobiles
5) increase safety regulations on the auto industry mandating titanium "tubs" for all autos, similar to the A-10 Warthogs our brave pilots fly into combat. This may "slightly" increase the cost of these autos, but it's a small price to pay, in my opinion!
6) hypo-alergenic perforated (for enhanced airflow) "bean" bags/ cushions. similar to airbags, but always deployed. The concept is simple. If we pack our fragile fine antiques in secure bubble wrap when shipping them, why would we not endeavor to do the same with our infinitely more irreplaceable children!?
We can do it Michigan!

You Couldn't be more wrong. We are not a democracy, never was and was never meant to be. The problem is that ignorance is letting us slip that way. Democracy is just mob rule. In your democracy once any group gets to 51% of the population they can vote to exterminate all the rest. Maybe they will be kind and just bleed us of all our money through taxes, fees etc. Oh, wait, that's what the dems/libs/socialists are doing now.
Do yourself a favor and look up "constitutional republic"
